Winter Pruning with Lee Reich
February 21, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
Correct and timely pruning are the keys to keeping apples, peaches, and other fruit trees healthy and productive and bearing the tastiest fruits.
Learn the how and — importantly — the why of pruning these plants in their young, developing stage and then as they mature and bear fruits.
You don’t like to prune? We’ll talk about some fruit trees that need (almost) no pruning.
You really like to prune? We’ll touch on espalier too.
