Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop

Growing Urban
Orchards

In partnership with Guelph Community Orchard Project
and The Elora
Environment Centre, we are excited to join Susan Poizner, an urban orchardist and the author of
the award-winning fruit tree care book Growing Urban
Orchards, as she guides us through fruit tree care. You will
learn the techniques for dormant tree pruning (versus summer pruning when the
tree is actively growing). Dormant pruning, done annually, helps you improve
tree health, spur healthy growth and helps your tree develop a structure that
will support a robust harvest.
