Tom Burford demonstrates correct pruning technique at the 2004 Pruning Workshop.


Join us in February for a workshop on pruning your fruit trees.

Fruit trees demand regular and careful pruning in order to get off to a good start and stay productive. Effective pruning is necessary to growing good fruit by opening up the tree to maximize light penetration and maintaining the proper balance between vegetative growth and fruit production. Keeping branches open to light and air speeds drying of leaves and fruit, decreasing diseases and allowing sprays to penetrate if spraying is needed. Pruning is a basic skill that is both an art and a science.

  • Lecture and demonstration on shaping trees for maximizing fruit production.
  • Learn techniques for careful pruning that ensures a more bountiful harvest.
  • Find out how much to prune, where to make the pruning cuts, and when it should be done.

We have pruning tools available for purchase. Click here for the online Catalog, where you may also register online for the workshop.
