Tuesdays at Ten | Out in the Garden

Young Tree Pruning

Join us at the library for coffee, socializing, and learning something new

Spring can be a good time to prune many of our woody landscape plants, but what should I prune? Learn the fundamentals of young tree pruning (and some mature tree pruning, as well). We'll talk about cutting methods, tools, timing, and cut selection.
