Apple tree expert Andrew Lear is returning to the Barn for an apple treepruning workshop. Get “up close and personal” with apple trees and gain valuable hands-on experience of the whole pruning process. Ideal for complete beginners and for those wishing to refresh skills. 
Andrew will go through the different methods of pruning and the reasons for it and talk through tool safety and maintenance. You are welcome to bring along what you normally prune with, including loppers, secateurs and sharpening tools for Andrew to comment on. 
Andrew will be demonstrating a variety of apple trees across our site.
There will be ample time to ask questions and become confident with techniques. Bring photos of your own apple trees for individual advice, or questions on apple tree pests, diseases and disorders. 
Please wear warm clothes, gloves and strong footwear. The Barn will provide hot drinks and sweet treats to keep your strength up! 
Participants are welcome to bring a packed lunch and relax in the Barn or visit our neighbors, Buchanan’s Bistro,who are offering a special soup and bread offer for £6.00 to workshop participants.
