About this Event

Winter Pruning Workshop

Winter is the most important season for shaping the future health, structure, and productivity of your fruit trees. This hands-on workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of pruning deciduous fruit trees with confidence and intention.

We’ll cover:

  • The 4 D’s of pruning (Dead, Diseased, Damaged, and Disoriented wood)
  • Tools of the trade and how to use them properly
  • How to make clean, correct pruning cuts
  • When and why to prune different types of fruit trees

The workshop will reference principles from R. Sanford Martin’s classic book How to Prune Fruit Trees, grounding our approach in time-tested orchard practices.

After the instructional portion, participants will have the opportunity to practice pruning directly in the orchard, working with established deciduous fruit trees under guidance.

This workshop is ideal for:

  • Home gardeners
  • Beginning and intermediate fruit tree growers
  • Anyone looking to deepen their understanding of seasonal orchard care

Suggested donation: $10. No one turned away for lack of funds.

No prior pruning experience required. Tools will be provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own.
