Description

Winter pruning of fruit trees is vital for setting structure in young trees and promoting fruiting wood in mature trees.

Join expert horticulturalist Justin Calverley for our winter fruit tree pruning workshop and learn how to best care for your fruit trees for health and to maximise your yield for next season. This workshop will give you the skills to prune with the confidence to achieve the tree you wished for. The workshop will combine both the theory of why and what we prune in winter with demonstrations in the orchard.

Please bring your gardening gloves and a pair of sharp clean secateurs.

Excellent workshop. Helps if have a basic understanding of pruning and fruit trees but if that's in place, the workshop accelerates learning eg tree shapes, how to identify the age of a tree and fruiting branches, the effect of pruning and when to summer and winter prune, the importance of getting the tree structure and framework branches right and an explanation of fruiting wood on a variety of fruit trees.
