This class will show you how, what and when to apply a specific pruning system. This class will cover the natural pruning system, including structural pruning of young trees, as well as mature tree pruning techniques (crown cleaning, crown thinning, crown raising, crown reduction). More formal systems including pollarding, espalier, and pleaching are also covered. Pruning cycles and seasonal timing are discussed. Mal-pruning is defined (tree topping, lion’s tailing, over thinning), and rehabilitative pruning techniques are explained. This lecture series is designed for those who work in landscape maintenance. Each lecture provides information on tools and techniques for quality pruning with better long-term results and customer satisfaction. Classes held weekly on Thursdays, July 15-August 19, and delivered virtually using Zoom.
