When it comes to basic care and pruning of fruit trees, there are many different techniques, several of which have predictable results. Winter pruning is a great way to encourage vigorous growth, improve fruit yield and quality, and so much more. This class will help you optimize the performance of your fruit trees according to your own needs and the specific environment in which the trees are growing. The spotlight will primarily be on, but not limited to, the summer pruning of fruit tree varieties appropriate to the North Coast climate, specifically apples, pears, and select stone fruits. Learn how the time of year and type of pruning cut can greatly influence the success of your fruit trees. We will cover a complete year’s cycle of tree growth – from the tree’s perspective as well as our own.
