California Rare Fruit Growers
North San Diego County Chapter

Welcome to the North San Diego County Chapter of
California Rare Fruit Growers, Inc.

We are a place for like-minded people to share their passion and knowledge of growing rare and interesting fruiting plants, gardening experiences, and to learn from the experts about growing rare and subtropical fruits in our Southern California climate.

Our mission is to encourage and foster public and scientific interest, research, education in, and the preservation of rare fruit plants that have edible seeds, fruits, leaves, stems, or roots and are not commonly grown commercially.

Special Announcement -- Quarantine Expanded

The County of San Diego has detected the citrus disease Huanglongbing (HLB) in the
Valley Center, Oceanside, and Rancho Bernardo areas of San Diego.
CDFA declared a citrus quarantine area starting in February 2023 that has now been expanded.

Please visit the San Diego County government website or visit CaliforniaCitrusThreat.org to learn more.

What this means for us:
At this time, our Chapter’s position is that citrus fruit, plants, leaves or foliage are not brought to any of our events, regardless of the location of the member’s citrus fruit trees. View our one-page Information Sheet.
