Intro to Pruning Fruit Trees (online)

March 9, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

Join us for this virtual class on dormant fruit tree pruning. We will demonstrate shaping cuts for higher quality fruit set, tree health, and disease management. We will also show you how to use preferred pruning tools to remove water sprouts, suckers, and dead/diseased/damaged branches. Finally, we will explain the process of thinning fruit, including how to use a handy tool for determining how much full-sized fruit a branch may support without breaking. This class will include a thorough look at flowering buds and leaf buds so you can confidently make decisions for stimulating growth and encouraging development of delicious fruit. Registration required – see link to sign up.
