COMMUNITY & SPONSORED EVENTS
FEBRUARY 2025
This month’s presentation will cover pruning apple, pear, Asian pear, and Italian plum trees (which take place during winter dormancy). Most stone fruit trees (such as cherries & peaches) are pruned in the summer after the fruit is picked and when conditions are dry.
Come and learn about which tools and techniques are the best for thinning both healthy and unhealthy branches. Doug will also speak to the pros & cons of using extension pruners which have a good reach if you want to stay on the ground vs. a ladder.
Doug will cover the differences between thinning cuts and heading cuts and what to pay attention to when making those cuts. Also covered will be the 4 D's of pruning, tool safety, sanitation and why it's important to keep light & air flowing through the limbs. Q & A will follow.
