We know lots of people find apple pruning a challenge and we'd like to help.
Ordinarily, we offer a pruning service with a difference. You can hire us to help you prune your apple trees and whilst we're pruning - we'll teach you too. This is a great way to learn but not sensible at the moment.
We were also planning pruning workshops in the community garden. Again, our plans were scuppered.
So instead we've moved our advice online. On Thursday 22nd, we held our first virtual session where we focussed on pruning & apple pruning. This is a session we'd be happy to repeat if it helps people.
In addition to this, we've recorded our apple pruning and uploaded it here.
Yer,,,apple pruning,,, there's definitely a technique. I've got an apple tree in my garden,,,but still not sure how to go about it, in case I hack it to death, also a pear and a cherry,,,they are not too happy about it all,,, could be looking better!
