Apple Tree Pruning


Sunday, October 20, 2013 from 1 to 3PM

Many years ago in our city, forward looking residents planted fruit trees and we are enjoying the fruits of their labors today. We can give the gift of maintaining those healthy trees for current and future residents by ensuring that we are engaging in proactive maintenance of our fruit trees. Join us for a fun, educational and hands on two hour workshop where you will learn how to:

  • Prune a mature apple tree
  • Identify common diseases in apple trees
  • Apply remedies to disease apple trees

This is a great educational opportunity for our Project PICK gleaners and for friends of Alameda Backyard Growers who have an interest in picking or have an apple tree in their own yard.

Bring pickers, gloves and pruners if you have your own.  We will meet at the Alameda Food Bank and then walk to the location of our beautiful apple tree.
