Learn to prune apple trees to encourage vigorous growth, heavy fruit set and quality fruit yield. Fruit tree experts will offer hands-on pruning experience. Collection of scion wood and storage will also be discussed. This workshop is directed at folks who haven’t pruned before or have a little experience. Instructors will discuss basic pruning practices and required tools, as well as identifying branch collars, waterspouts, fruit buds, and about branch training.

We have two locations for this workshop: Branch Hill Farm in Milton Mills, NH/Acton, ME) and a home in Freeport, ME.

This workshop is free thanks to a partnership with the Transition to Organic Partnership Program.
