The N.C. Cooperative Extension, Avery County Center will be hosting an Apple Pruning Workshop on Saturday, March 6, 2021, from 1 to 4 p.m. The class will be held at the Crossnore Heritage Apple Orchard, located next to the Loaves and Fishes Restaurant.

The apple tree pruning demonstration will focus on newly planted trees as well as older trees, branch training for an optimum angle on newly planted trees, and comparing summer versus winter pruning. A reflection on previous pruning demonstrations will reveal how the trees responded to past year pruning. Bring your hand pruners and come out to join us! We will have long-arm pruners and saws, for those that want to practice.

Please note, if there is inclement weather, the reschedule date for the following Saturday, March 13, 2021, from 1 to 4 p.m. You will be notified if the event is rescheduled to this date.

REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there is a limit of 25 participants.
