Whether you’re planting a new orchard or maintaining established fruit trees, winter pruning plays a key role in keeping them healthy and productive.

Join me as I share the fundamentals of winter pruning and ongoing fruit tree care.

What you’ll learn:

  • The difference between winter and summer pruning, and when to use each approach

  • How to rejuvenate older trees and orchards through winter pruning

  • The specific pruning needs of different fruit tree varieties

  • How to manage tree size by encouraging or limiting growth with seasonal pruning

  • Techniques for shaping strong, open, vase-like trees to support healthy fruit production

This workshop will give you the skills and confidence to prune your orchard through winter—whether you’re restoring mature trees or shaping young ones for the future.
