Winter Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop - Jan 26

December through February is time to prune most of your deciduous fruit trees. Please join me on Saturday, January 26th, from 10 am - 12:30 pm for a workshop covering winter pruning and care of fruiting trees, to set them up for a fabulous growing season next year.

We will cover pruning new, young and mature trees, discuss appropriate tools and different pruning styles. Walking through the orchard, we will look at how pruning decisions effect growth and productivity in walnuts, peaches, nectarines, plums, figs, apples, pears and persimmons. We will also discuss what not to prune in the winter, watering and fertilization.

Suitable for ages 16 and up. Limited to 25 people.

The location is at our farm: 613 Lakeview Rd, Watsonville, CA 95076

Please wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes, comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle. We will walk 1-2 miles total on a gentle slope.

If we get rained out, we will reschedule.
