Pruning Fruit Trees

MHA The Wilderness

Head Gardener Lucy James will show you how to keep your fruit trees productive, healthy and looking good with a regular pruning routine.

Wilderness Workshops

A series of workshops that show attendees how to improve their horticultural skills.

Sunday 5th March 202311.00am - 12.30pmFREE to attend but a donation in exchange for plant knowledge is welcomed. The value of this ticket is £20.The successful cultivation of fruit trees requires pruning. But why is it that we can’t leave trees to grow as nature intended? Pruning trees allows you to direct the energy of your tree where you want it, whether that is growth or fruit. If grown without intervention, fruit trees will grow in such a way as to reproduce themselves in as large quantities as possible, but this doesn’t always result in the best shaped tree or the best quality fruit.In this session, Head Gardener Lucy will show you some of the many reasons you might prune your fruit tree:<ul><li>Preserving and restoring old trees through pruning</li><li>Shaping young trees with pruning</li><li>Removing damaged and badly positioned branches</li><li>Pruning to increase the light and air penetration</li><li>Pest and disease control through pruning</li><li>Pruning to balance growth and fruit production</li><li>Managing tree size and shape</li><li>Pruning to collect grafting material</li></ul>There will be time for Q&amp;A followed by light refreshments in The Cabin.The event will finish at 12.30 but you are welcome to stay and explore The Wilderness at your leisure. Gates close at 3pm
