Join PHA Grounds Manager/Arborist Ian Jochems for a class covering fruit tree management and growth control techniques focusing on apples, cherries, peaches, and pears. Participants will learn how trees set bud and what type of wood produces fruit. The program will begin with a lecture at PHA in the Education Center, and move to the Grey Barn orchard for the hands-on portion. Bring work gloves and safety glasses. The Arboretum will provide pruners, saws, loppers and ladders.
