Advanced Stone Fruit Growing, Two Part Hands-On Course
April 12, 2014 - April 13, 2014
freeRegistration required, space is limited. $40 for both Part 1 & Part 2. Sign up for our Two Advanced Courses, Apples & Pears and Stone Fruits, and all 4 classes are $70. Part 1 April 12, 1:30-3:30
Part 1, you’ll be working in the orchards pruning established trees, with hands-on instruction. You’ll practice applying pruning theory to trees of different ages. Stone fruits require special handling when pruning, and are pruned just as the fruit sets.
Part 2, June 7,1:30-3:30 In our second class, we’ll learn the process of scouting for pest and disease issues, and look at how our pruning earlier in the spring is affecting the early growth of the trees. We’ll also look at fruit set, and have a hand-on thinning practicum.
