The Kentucky Nut Growers Association is a non-profit organization that was formed to promote interest in nut bearing trees; research in their breeding and culture; dissemination of educational material and information; and to encourage locating and reporting of promising seedling trees which may be adaptable to the regions represented by the membership. Kentucky is generally well-suited for growing nut trees and Northern pecans, black walnuts, heartnuts, hickory nuts, Carpathian walnuts, American hazelnuts, and Chinese chestnuts grow well in the state. KNGA has about 300 members who are interested in growing nut trees, as well as pawpaws and persimmons. Two Association meetings are held per year. The Spring Meeting takes place on the fourth Saturday in April, and the Fall Meeting on the fourth Saturday in October. If you would like to become a member of KNGA, please feel free to attend our summer meeting or send in a membership application form.
