Proper pruning techniques are essential for maximizing fruit quality, improving tree health, and increasing overall productivity. However, many growers neglect pruning due to a lack of experience or concerns about damaging their trees. Effective pruning helps control tree size, enhances structural strength, and promotes higher yields of better-quality fruit. Join us for a hands-on workshop designed for beginners, where you will learn the fundamentals of fruit tree pruning through expert guidance and live demonstrations. Participants are encouraged to bring their own pruning tools for a more interactive learning experience. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain the skills and confidence needed to care for your fruit trees successfully
