Pruning fruit trees can feel intimidating. Many gardeners worry they’ll cut too much, cut the wrong branch, or damage the tree’s future growth. This workshop is designed to remove that uncertainty completely.
 
This is a practical, hands-on session where you’ll learn exactly how to prune fruit trees with confidence and understanding not just what to cut, but why you’re cutting it.
 
We’ll cover:
how fruit trees respond to pruning
when to prune different types of fruit trees
how to improve fruiting and shape without overcutting
common mistakes that reduce harvests and how to avoid them
the difference between formative, maintenance, and rejuvenation pruning
 
You’ll be working directly on real trees, guided step-by-step, so you can practise each technique safely.
By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to manage your own fruit trees without hesitation, guesswork, or fear of getting it wrong.
 
Lunch included.
Warm and waterproof clothing is recommended.
