Four Stephen F. Austin State University students attended the Southern Region conference of the International Plant Propagators Society held recently in Valdosta, Ga. Dr. David Creech, SFA Professor Emeritus of agriculture and director of SFA's Mast Arboretum and Ruby Mize Azalea Garden, delivered a presentation titled "Selection and Production of Mexican Oaks for Southern USA landscapes." The conference, attended by more than 200 participants from university academics and nurserymen and landscapers of the South, included tours to nurseries and garden centers in the southern Georgia and northern Florida area, an awards banquet, and a plant auction.
