Fruit Tree Pruning & Tree Care Workshop

Informative!

We learned a great deal about how to take care of our fruit trees. We immediately began applying some of what we learned and will continue. Excited to see the difference we'll make. Thank you for the bargain class!

Review

When I entered the venue, I was greeted and shown courtesy. I had several expectations: How to prune, what pesticides and fungicides were recommended, what is the best schedule for applying pesticides and fungicides, and how to care for the health of the trees, and how to maximize production. I was pleased with the demonstration of the proper pruning but an illustration handout would have enhanced the demonstration. What I don't understand was why there were not handouts naming the recommended pesticide and fungicide products. The presenter said what the products were but I was scrambling to write them down and get them spelled correctly. It was difficult to hear the presenter because of the rain pounding on a metal roof, but a handout would have solved that problem. It would have been very helpful to receive a handout with a schedule of caring for the trees.. One handout had listed some resources, but only names were given when websites would have beeb very helpful. So much valuable information was included in the presentation, that was very poorly presented. May I suggest before the next workshop, an educator be allowed to observe a rehearsal presentation and make suggestions to facilitate the topics and ideas that were being covered.

Fruit Trees & Greenhouse

Thomas was excellent. Great show and tell inside. Answered all questions thrown at him. The tour outside was excellent also. My biggest issue coming in was spraying the fruit trees. All those questions answered. I currently have 10 fruit trees and plan on planting 7 more this spring. Probably gonna attend your fruit tree class again next year. See you’ll when it’s strawberry time!
