Fruit Tree Pruning




Fruit Tree Pruning





I just spent the last two days learning to prune and renovate fruit trees at the Brighton Permaculture Trust.


Bryn Thomas was our tutor, his experience and enthusiasm for the subject was inspiring.  Bryn teaches the course through practical hands-on experience pruning fruit trees in the orchard, informal group discussion and classroom sessions.

The course was very enjoyable, my knowledge and confidence in this specialized area is greatly enhanced because of it.
