DESCRIPTION:

Are you confident with pruning? Do your trees have a strong framework and pleasing form? If not, this class can help.

Learn how to build a strong tree that can better withstand wind, snow, ice, and heat. We will discuss components of a strong framework -- branch placement and distribution, crotch angle, aspect ratio, taper, root architecture – all toward greater resiliency in this changing climate.

You will learn how to effectively use heading, removal, and reduction cuts for desired results while minimizing damage to the tree. Soon you will feel at ease with making cuts for the right reason, at the right time, in the right location of the plant.

Our speaker Sherry Sheng is an Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener who leads and teaches for the award-winning 10-Minute University™ Program. She began teaching gardening classes in 2006. Sherry gardens at home and at a community garden plot.
