Careful fruit tree pruning for bumper crops needn't be a difficult task, especially once you've leant best-practice techniques from the experts. This workshop will show you everything you need to know.
Details
Held in our Learning Centre garden in Melbourne, this workshop will be led by Titch of Fleming's Nurseries, experts on fruit trees and medal winners at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2011. We will focus on pruning established fruit trees and will combine discussion of the techniques with a hands-on session using existing trees.
Currently in his 26th year with Fleming's Nurseries, Titch has done a little bit of everything at the company. From tree work to driving semi's delivering across the country, today he plays the important role of sales rep and is the face of Fleming's, conducting informative talks and presentations to schools, garden clubs and stores across the country.
