Fruit Pruning Workshop

During this workshop, we will focus on fruit trees (apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, figs, mulberries, elderberries, and hazelnuts) in our yards, landscapes, and backyard orchards. There will also be a brief discussion of small fruits including blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and grapes. We will discuss tools, techniques, and rationales for pruning. There will be hands-on pruning during this class. Bring your favorite hand pruners, loppers, and/or pruning saws.
