Making sure your fruit trees are fruitful and healthy depends so much on the correct type of pruning, and done at the right time of year. In this one-day workshop we will be looking at the tools required for pruning and how to look after them, pruning cuts and angles will be explained and more importantly the different types of wood that the fruit trees produce.

After lunch we will go out and take a look at the practical aspects of pruning on the fruit trees that grow in the garden at Sculpture by the Lakes.
