Below are some FAQ’s that may help in better understanding the purpose of some of the questions on the applciation. If you have additional questions, contact Tom Auvil at 665-8271, email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
1. Why do you ask for both the grower and a contact name?
We realize that oftentimes the grower is not necessarily the person placed on charge of a specific project. We need to know who the best person is at that orchard with whom to talk to regarding the WSU2 plantings.
2. Why do you ask for warehouse affiliation?
In order to be a particpant in phase 4, you must be an assessment-paying grower. Since the warehouses are required to collect research assessments from growers, the easiest way for us to verify this information is to know your warehouse affiliation.
3. Who owns the trees?
The evaluation trees are the property of Washington State University. If the situation arises where the trees in evaluation must be destroyed, WSURF needs the information of where they are planted, thus the county and parcel number request.
4. Do I have to participate in the evaluation phase?
Each entity which may want to commercially plant WA 2 will need to participate in the evaluation phase.
We would like to show our appreciation to Willow Drive Nursery for their willingness to handle paperwork, collect and account for fees plus packaging and shipping of the evaluation trees. Neither WSURF nor WTFRC has staff, facilities or processes at this time to accomplish the task.
