Join us in the HOEC Community Orchard for this hands-on workshop to learn proper pruning techniques specific to growing figs and persimmon trees in the Pacific Northwest. Students will receive guided hands-on practice to help to build the confidence necessary to prune their own trees at home. Let us teach you how to prune your trees for the best health and fruit production while ensuring you aren’t accidentally removing your Spring fruit wood!
