Event information
This workshop will give you the confidence and practical experience to maintain your own stone fruit trees (plums, cherries, peaches and apricots that should only be pruned in the summer).
We will demonstrate and practice on trees around 10-20 years old.
The session will cover the basic principles of pruning stone fruit trees, safe use of pruning tools and overall health of your tree. Suitable for beginners and those wishing to improve their fruit tree pruning skills. All tools and safety wear will be provided, but PLEASE BRING STRONG WORKING GLOVES. If you wish to bring your own tools they must be sterilised and sharp.
Bring photos of your own trees for advice at the end.
