0616SP Pruning III: Summer Pruning

Saturday, June 16

9 am-12 noon

Many early-blooming trees and shrubs produce flowers on the previous year’s wood, and these are best pruned now, after flowering. Summer is also a good time to shape and thin plants. Learn how to properly prune flowering trees and shrubs, as well as broadleaf evergreens and conifers in this hands-on class with Mike Tanzini of Ted Collins Tree & Landscape. Directions to the class site will be emailed before the class. Pruning Basics, or another pruning class, is a prerequisite for this class.

Professional credits: call us if you are interested in receiving CNLP or ISA-CEU credits for this class.
