Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop

This fun, educational workshop is ideal for those that are new to fruit growing as well as the seasoned fruit grower. Instructor Rick Reisinger will demonstrate pruning techniques on apples, stone fruits, nuts and berries throughout his family orchard. Other topics to be covered include grafting and apple tree and renovating an older tree to improve fruit production. This is an outdoor demonstration; participants should dress for the weather. Cider and donuts will be provided. Preregistration is required by March 4, 2011 for admission to either workshop. Call Schuyler County CCE to register at 607-535-7161.
