Many of us focus on winter as the best time to prune our fruit trees
and this is the case for some fruit trees however many fruit trees
benefit much more from a summer pruning. By early February the
Melbourne harvest has finished for cherries, apricots, plums, peaches
and nectarines and this is the best time to prune these and other
trees for shape and to encourage new fruiting wood. Join expert
horticulturalist Justin Calverley for our summer fruit tree pruning
workshop and learn how to best care for your fruit trees for health
and to maximise your yield for next season. The workshop will involve
walking on the uneven surfaces of the orchard at Edendale. Please
ensure you wear enclosed shoes bring along any walking assistance
equipment you may require. And b ring your gardening gloves, a hat and
a pair of secateurs. On Saturday 15 February 2020 at 9:00am Location
