When it comes to the basic care and pruning of fruit trees, there are many different techniques. Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens presents a useful class on the topic, Fruit Tree Pruning 101, Saturday, January 16 from 10am to 12noon. The class will be held in the Gardens Meeting Room at 18220 N Highway 1, Fort Bragg.

Instructor Di Scott will teach attendees how to optimize growth and production of their fruit trees, according to the specific environment in which the trees are growing and the growers’ own needs. The spotlight will primarily be on, but not limited to, the pruning of fruit tree varieties appropriate to the North Coast climate, specifically apples, pears, and select stone fruits. Learn how time of year and type of pruning cut can greatly influence the success of fruit trees. The class covers a complete year’s cycle of tree growth, from the tree’s perspective as well as our own.

Di Scott brings 17 years of coastal orchard experience and a lifetime of horticultural knowledge to this class.

 

Class cost is $10 members/Master Gardeners; $20 non-members (includes Gardens admission for the day).

Please reserve your space by phoning 707 964-4352 ext. 16  or in person at The Garden Store at MCBG.
