Fruit Tree Pruning & Grafting Fundamentals Workshops
It's that time of year again, pruning and grafting season.
Todd Parlo of Walden Heights Nursery and Orchard, offers workshops this weekend to teach about pruning and grafting just in time to care for your own fruit trees. The classes are comprehensive, but also understandable for the novice. You can take both sessions, or just one.

Fruit Tree Pruning
10 a.m. -- 1 p.m.
Winter fruit tree pruning can improve overall health and appearance and can increase fruit production. This class discusses pruning tools, basic biology behind pruning fruit trees, basic cuts and how to stimulate fruit production. (Class fee $30)
Grafting Fundamentals
2 -- 5 p.m.
This workshop will give participants a basic understanding of how to graft a tree (primarily apple trees). Attendees will learn and practice several different grafting techniques as well as how to collect proper scions (cuttings). Scionwood from a number of different apple varieties will be available; however, anyone is welcome to bring his or her own scions to the workshop where they will get the opportunity to graft their own trees. Additional plant materials will be available to purchase for grafting more trees at home. ($40 which includes each student having at least one tree to take home)
Workshops will be held at the orchard. Directions and more info at waldenheightsnursery.com Class size is limited and pre-registration is required.
