Fruit Pruning & Tree Care Workshop

It’s pruning time! Join Thomas or AJ, our apple tree experts, for a workshop on how to care for your fruit trees. Thomas and AJ both have years of experience growing and caring for the apple trees at Tuttles.  They oversee the care of over 17,000 apple trees, which consists of 30 different varieties.  Proper pruning is important as it will lead to an overall improved quality of your fruit trees and help minimize diseases.  They will teach you the do’s and don’ts of pruning. A demonstration may be held in the orchard where they will demonstrate the best techniques for home fruit tree pruning.  They will also discuss general tree care, which includes a discussion on spraying and thinning. Bring your questions about your own home fruit trees.  This is a casual workshop, so questions are encouraged. This will be approximately a 2 hour workshop.
