Summer Fruit Tree Pruning

Late Summer and early fall (after harvest) is a perfect time for pruning your fruit trees!  Yes, traditional wisdom says to prune in the winter, when trees are dormant but, let’s face it, it’s REALLY cold then so late summer pruning could be much more comfortable!  Our Master Gardener experts will show you how to prune your fruit trees post-harvest for the best results in coming years.  Please join us at our summer pruning seminar.
