  • Learn the basics of fruit tree pruning, including "when" and "how."

  • Learn goals for pruning, and the cuts that get the job done.

  • See and try different kinds of pruning tools.

  • Find out about pruning safety.

  • Get hands-on practice with the trees.

  • Discover where you can find answers after the workshop is over.

    The workshop will be held on Friday Feb. 16th and Saturday Feb. 17th from 2-4 p.m., in Columbus. Only those registered will receive the address.
