Summer Pruning: Apples & Pears

Join us in the HOEC orchard for an afternoon of guided hands-on summer pruning instruction and practice!

Proper summer pruning works to open the canopy and get more light to developing fruit, is important for an abundant yield and is a great time to work on size control.

We will start the day with a brief introduction and demonstration on the best summer pruning practices for apples and pears.
After the demonstration and a chance to ask questions, each student will work on one tree that will be hand selected according to their confidence and skill level. This class is great for beginners as well as a more seasoned pruner who wants to build confidence and speed.*
*This workshop is suitable for learners of all skill levels, but will be the best fit for students who already have some general experience with the very basics (basic pruning tools, parts of a fruit tree, types of pruning cuts).

*Pre-registration is required and space is limited! Follow this link to hold your space: https://www.homeorchardeducationcenter.org/workshop-store-page
