Fruit Tree Pruning 101

As we know, when it comes to basic care and pruning of fruit trees, there are various techniques and theories. Many of these have predictable results. This class will help you to optimize performance from your fruit trees, according to your own needs and the specific environment in which the trees are growing. Learn how seasonal routines and types of cut can greatly influence the success of a fruit tree. The class will cover a complete year cycle of tree growth and pruning goals: from the trees perspective as well as your own. The focus will primarily be on, but not limited too, the pruning of fruit tree varieties appropriate to the North Coast climate, specifically Apples, Pears and selected stone fruits. Master Gardener, Di Scott brings 15 years of coastal orchard experience and a lifetime of horticultural knowledge to this class.
