About the event
This will be a hands-on workshop where we will learn to use our new skills on the fig tree at the back of Oakhill Food Justice Farm!
You will learn how to:
- carry out formative pruning to shape young trees
- maintenance pruning to maintain the size of established trees
- renovation pruning to tidy up overgrown trees and reduce their size.
For gardeners of all experience levels, this training session will cover the basic theory and fundamentals of fruit tree pruning, how to prune trees with special pruning requirements such as figs, pomegranates and persimmons, and winter fruit tree pest control. This is a 2-hour workshop which includes a 15-minute questions and answers session at the end.
