Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop – Two Parts

Increase the beauty and productivity of your fruit trees with this informative, two-part, hands-on pruning class by locally renowned fruit tree expert, Monica Maggio. Timely pruning can improve the shape, strength, and fruit set of your trees, and help reduce pest and disease pressure.

Part One is a lecture on a Friday evening, delivered via Zoom (at your home), that will cover general pruning theory. You will be provided with a Zoom link a day or two prior to the class. Note: you must have a (free) Zoom account in order to attend.

Part Two is the following day, in an orchard. It will include experiential instruction on specific techniques to help you learn how to make the best cuts on your fruit trees with confidence and skill. This will be held rain or shine. This portion will include standing and walking the whole time. Dress for the weather and bring water. No tools necessary.
