MRFC November Speaker
by Darryl McCullough
Our November speaker will be legendary Plant City rare fruit expert Charles Novak. He has been growing rare fruits for over 30 years, and was President of the Tampa Bay Chapter of the Rare Fruit Council International for 7 years. An avid collector of very rare plants from all over the world, he has developed many fruits, including the Novak loquat.
When I first moved to Florida and became interested in growing tropical fruit, I visited Charles’ home in Plant City. He was extremely generous with his time and his knowledge, and inspired me to develop my own collection. His talks at local fruit clubs have also provided knowledge that I have been able to put to use.

Charles will speak about what he has learned over his decades as a grower of rare fruit. I can hardly wait.
