Topics covered include the basics of pruning with an emphasis on the techniques and goals of dormant pruning. You’ll learn what issues can be addressed or exacerbated, the physiology of a tree’s response to pruning, along with what to look for when deciding to prune, or not to prune.

Put theory into practice as you work in small groups to prune  trees in the orchard during the Saturday Hands-On session. Saturday Hands-On only: Dress for weather and mud; bring gloves, pruners, and saws.
