Did you know that summer is an excellent time to prune your fruit trees? Besides the general reasons to prune for height, structure, and airflow, summer pruning is excellent for ensuring enough direct sunlight reaches fruit, and decreases potential disease pressure. This hands-on workshop will teach you how to decide what to cut and when as well as pruning best practices. Facilitated by Matt Soltys, the Urban Orchardist.

This is part of the In the Field Workshop Series, run by Ignatius Farm in partnership with EFAO. Sign up for individual sessions, or register for the full series here.
