APGA’s Summer Tour 2021 will be in Summerdale, Alabama at Underwood Pecan and Citrus Nursery. Since last year’s Hurricane Sally hurt the pecan industry we will be discussing what we can do before and after a hurricane. Insurance, clean up after a storm, replanting orchards are just a few topics. After lunch we will be touring the Underwood Nursery and shelling plant. Lunch will be provided.
Underwood Pecan Nursery and Citrus Nursery is located at 18446 Davis Rd. Summerdale, AL.
