Backyard Fruit Trees - Winter Pruning Workshop

$40 - Info at www.littlefruittree.com

Timed pruning offers a simple and revolutionary approach to fruit tree care: winter prune for shape and summer prune to keep trees small and easy.
For first time planters, and pruners in need of a refresher, these hands-on classes cover getting started with fruit trees, the basic mechanics of pruning, pruning for easy harvest, timing seasonal routines, and trouble-shooting pests and disease. 
The class promotes a simple, artful and commonsense approach. Attendees leave the workshop inspired, confident in new pruning skills, and happy to discover they don't need a degree in agriculture to manage a fruit tree.

Instructor Ann Ralph managed the fruit tree department at Berkeley Horticultural Nursery for ten years. Her pruning book, Grow a Little Fruit Tree, will be available from Storey Publishing in early 2015.

Preregistration is required. Additional dates and locations available.
