RE: Workshop or class on fruit tree pruning.

Many better retail nurseries or garden centers will sponsor classes on pruning, either with their own staff members or guest speakers. However the timing is a bit off.....most of these relating to fruit trees will be offered in the winter months. I'd suggest you call around to some of the larger area nurseries and see what they might have scheduled. It may still be a bit early even for that - I've only just finished up our fall seminar and class schedule :-) Start looking in December and January.

Call your UCCE county extension for a list of fruit tree pruning classes, many are held in the fall in preparation for the January dormant pruning season. Al

Now that you ask the question, I might start some posts about that at...

www.treeworld.info

The forum is a bit big tree oriented, with some video. But fruit tree pruning might be a good addition.

I started a pruning tips section for another forum one time. But forum posts just don't replace a good lecture or demonstration.
