Winter Pruning Fruit Trees Workshop

Do you have neglected fruit trees but don’t know how to care for them? Are you planning on planting new fruit trees this year and need to know how to set them up for success?

This workshop will cover the theory and practice of dormant season pruning for apples, pears, quince, walnuts, peaches, plums, cherries, citrus, figs, pomegranates, persimmons and why we don’t prune apricots in winter as well. The right tools for the job, how to prune trees of different ages, and other winter care tips will also be discussed.

We will walk the orchard together, and I will talk through and demonstrate pruning at least one of each fruit tree variety. We will discuss pruning for optimal tree growth, height, health and fruit production. There will be plenty of time to answer all of your tree and pruning questions as well.
