Possible Pruning Primer


Several people have expressed interest in learning about pruning. Since we have started trimming trees, this seems like the time to schedule a workshop.  I'd like some feedback on what days might work out for those who are interested. I prefer early Wednesday or Sunday morning.
This workshop/demonstration will cover various approaches to different sizes and different growth habits of trees. 
If you're interested, please reply to this post or talk with me the next time you buy fruit... let me know what day and time would work for you.
Cost will be $5 per person.
