Nov 15, 2011

UC Davis Extension will hold a workshop designed for home gardeners and professional landscapers looking for information on the management and care of home fruit trees. This one day class will be held on January 13, 2012 from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm in the Da Vinci Building at UC Davis.

Learn about pruning for aesthetic beauty, maximum fruit production, good fruit size and optimal annual production. This workshop will include both lecture and field pruning demonstrations in campus orchards. Irrigation, fertility, weed control, thinning and pest control will also be covered. Pest control information will have an emphasis on organic and minimal pesticide use.

Instructors are Joseph Connell and Paul Vossen, both UCCE Farm Advisors in Northern California.
