Description

Pruning helps to ensure that your fruit trees stay healthy, manageable and produce high quality fruit. In this hands-on workshop, we will discuss pruning tools, goals and techniques, equipping you with the skills and knowledge to properly prune different types of fruit trees. Participants will observe demonstrations and practice pruning on several varieties of both pomme (apple, pear, quince) and stone (apricot, plum, NectaPlum, Aprium) fruit trees. While we may share some tips about pests and disease as we encounter examples during class, we will focus primarily on pruning. Please see our Organic Fruit Tree Care Calendar for comprehensive pest and disease guidance.
