About the Event

Late summer and early fall, after harvest, is a perfect time for pruning your fruit trees. Yes, traditional wisdom says to prune in the winter when the trees are dormant, but it can be REALLY cold then so late summer pruning may be much more comfortable. Our Master Gardener experts will provide a hands-on pruning workshop during this popular class. 

Class objectives:

  • Discuss why pruning fruit trees is important and what can be accomplished with effective pruning
  • Provide an overview of tree selection and proper planting methods
  • Discuss when and how pruning should be done
  • Review safety considerations when pruning
  • EXTERNAL IMAGE

    Participate in a hands-on demonstration
