Pruning Series Workshop: Heritage Apple Trees and Blueberries (Part A)

  • John Hay Estate at The Fells 456 Rt 103A / PO Box 276 Newbury, NH 03255 United States (map)

This first workshop is for all near-beginners or first-timers to pruning who want to learn a few basics and take home great references for getting started. We will begin with a short discussion on tools and techniques, but quickly move to hands-on practice in the field working on the heritage fruiting trees and highbush blueberries here at The Fells.

Pruning correctly is not complicated, hard, or necessarily strenuous; it can be a great way to get your gardening season off to a fun start.   Come learn how to get headed in the right direction with the correct tools and proven techniques. If you own an apple tree or two, a crabapple or highbush blueberries bushes, come spend a few hours learning how to get them in better shape and ready to produce a better crop. The results of your efforts can be significant. No experience is necessary. Bring your own tools or use those of The Fells. Meets at the Barn.
