Gary Ingram will teach an on-site class on pruning trees for high fruit production. In this workshop, he will discuss tree physiology, when to prune, how pruning apple, pear, peach, fig, plum, cherry and others differ, organic pest and disease control, fertilization and how to make a fruit tree reach maximum productivity in just a few years.

Bring sharp pruners and a small pruning saw if you want hands-on experience.
