Pruning a fruit tree correctly is the difference between a tree that produces fruit and grows healthy for many years, and a tree that bears little or no fruit and that will fail. Pamela Draper, local fruit tree expert and Master Gardener, will help us understand how to prune fruit trees so their root system and crown grow healthy, and so you can reap the fruits of good tree care!
Join us at the UW-T Giving Garden for this lunch and learn workshop. We will focus on apple, pear, and stone fruit trees.
Tools will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own. We recommend bringing the following resources:
Gloves (we’ll have some on hand, too!)
Sun glasses or clear glasses to protect your eyes
Long sleeves and weather-appropriate clothing
Please bring your own lunch! We’ll have warm beverages available.
This event is capped at 20 and registration is required. The first 4 people to register will receive a FREE fruit tree!
