Pruning fruit trees

The main topic: stone fruit and pruning large sweet cherries.

Under the guidance of certified fruit tree care specialist Julia Sikora, participants will learn everything they need to know about pruning fruit trees correctly. One focus is on the structure of the tree crown: the correct crown structure is the basis for a stable crown, a long tree life and regular yields. On the other hand, the thinning of large-crowned fruit trees is dealt with theoretically and later practiced in the practical part. It also deals with the question of how the fruit tree reacts to pruning measures at different times, proper pruning, the right choice of tools and their care. Wound and bark treatment during the vegetation phase is also taught in a practical way. Individual questions from participants, e.g. on the choice of variety and location, planting and training pruning, pest treatment, etc. will be answered.

The course begins at 10 am with a theoretical part (until 1 pm). After a lunch break, the practical part continues until 5 pm. In addition to the worksheets included in the price, there is the option of purchasing additional teaching material on site for €10.

Please bring your own tools (pruning shears, saws, gloves).

Participation (max. 15 p.) in the workshop requires prior registration.
