We have answers & we are excited to offer you a new class (in 2 sessions)!

Who? Steph from Silver Creek Nursery plus YOU!
What? I (Steph), will demystify the confusion around fruit tree pruning, and get you on the path to a more fruitful orchard! Did you know that correct seasonal pruning directly impacts all of your future fruit crops? In this 2-part educational class you will learn:
-
Part One --> We'll spend an evening discussing the theory and principles of pruning over zoom. Our virtual group meeting via Zoom (Friday night), will include a one hour discussion on all things relating to pruning. We will go over the life stages and annual cycles of fruit trees, how to properly shape a fruit tree for the best air flow to prevent diseases, how to restore old trees, and more, all for a healthier, more productive orchard.
- This session will be tailored and customized by and for you! Attendees are encouraged to submit pictures of their trees (and/or questions), ahead of time so we can discuss during our zoom.
-
Part Two -->The following day, we will meet in-person to put theory into practice at our orchard. I will personally guide you on how and where to make your cuts based on different age/life stages of trees, what you should avoid, how to spot signs of trouble on your tree, and how best to ensure a healthy and strong tree structure for many years to come!
- We'll close the session with a mug of hot cider and wassail the orchard for good measure!. Please be aware that our in-person date is weather dependent as we will be outside in the orchard for the duration of the event.
Why? We get so many pruning questions, and moreover, we get so many people starting a sentence with; " I planted some fruit trees 5 years ago and they haven't fruited...". Well, pruning plays a significant role! And it changes as the tree develops throughout its life. We are here to help clear the confusion and give you a practical, physiological path forward to bring your orchard into maximum fruition!
Space is limited to 15 participants, book today!
