Fruit tree pruning & training workshop March 14

Fruit producers big and small will have another opportunity to learn how to prune and train fruit trees to maximize fruit production. These techniques will be demonstrated on apple and pear trees growing at a local Master Gardener’s home at 1203 N. Marion Ave. Washington on Tuesday, March 14.

Patrick O’Malley, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach commercial horticulturist, will discuss why and how the different types of fruit trees are pruned and trained to maximize annual fruit production. The workshop on March 14 will be a demonstration.

The workshop will be held at 5 p.m. that day. This is a free workshop. We do ask that you call in and preregister at the Washington Extension Office 319-653-4811.
