Pruning Fruit Trees for Beginners
Monday, March 18, 2024 · 10 am–noon
King George, VA
Good pruning technique can increase the potential for quality fruit. Pruning is often neglected either due to a lack of skill or fear that improper pruning could lead to the injury or death of a tree. Pruning reduces overall tree size, improves structural strength, increases fruit production and improves the quality of fruit. Come and join us for this hands-on demonstration on pruning fruit trees for the beginner. Please feel free to bring any pruning tools that you may have to this workshop.
Space is limited to 25 participants
