Basic Fruit Tree Care & Pruning

Join Kitsap Harvest and Alan Lowe of the Peninsula Fruit Club, for a new Basic Fruit Tree Care & Pruning class offering. Classes are held in-field, and participants will need to dress weather appropriate and bring work gloves. Pruning tools will be provided for practice, but participants are welcome to bring tools they are not familiar using for hands on guidance.

Alan will discuss the basics of fruit tree health, pruning tools, as well as demonstrate proper pruning techniques. The second part of class participants will get hands on pruning practice. This class is intended to provide beginners the knowledge and confidence to begin caring for their fruit trees. Backyard gardeners, new small acreage farmers and homeowners with fruit trees on their property are all encouraged to attend!
