Here's a chance to learn the best pruning practices while testing your skills on our crabapple collection with UVM Hort Farm Director Terry Bradshaw. You will have the chance to ask questions on growing and pruning trees for yourself and for wildlife and best heirloom varieties. Your efforts will give you the skills to prune your own crabapples while helping to maintain the beauty of the Hort Farm Crabapple Collection. Bring pruners, gloves, loppers. Some tools can be provided. Masks and 6' distances will be observed.
