Pruning young trees for healthy structural development is cost-effective care. This class will explain how recent research on pruning has changed both practice and understanding. Age-adjusted pruning strategies will be stressed to maximize tree longevity and structural health. In addition, techniques will be discussed to help tree managers evaluate the arboricultural work of others under their supervision. The morning session will consist of a lecture and a demonstration. The afternoon session will feature supervised, hands-on pruning. Participants may sign up to take the morning part only, or the entire daylong class. Please bring a hand pruner and a small orchard saw for the afternoon session.
