Savvy fruit growers know that late winter and early spring are good times of the year for pruning trees if they wish to control their sizer and vigor. A Boise workshop will share details about how to do this in a way that can also lead to increased fruit production.
An assortment of pruning techniques will be taught to the learners who register for the Fruit Tree Pruning 101 session, and they will also find out whether bypass or anvil-style pruners are best suited to the task at hand. It is part of a five-part series of lectures planned for the home gardener designed to help people make the most from their own plot, no matter how large or small it may be.
The students will be encouraged to get some hands-on pruning practice in the BUGS orchard, and they can then use these at home with their own pear, apple, plum or other fruit tree. The session is reserved for those who are at least 18 years old, and will run for about two hours.
Offering a class like this to the public can help them to get more enjoyment out of their hobby, and can also lead to enhanced food security. One way to help educate is by offering special gardening-related Corporate Gifts and other swag to those who attend each session of a series of classes like this, and these premiums can be obtained from an area printer.
Boise Urban Garden School (BUGS) will be offering its Fruit Tree Pruning 101 class on March 18. It is located at 2995 N Five Mile Road. Get a Free Quote for Corporate Gifts
