Winter Pruning: Fruit Trees

Join Andy ‘Apples’ Lewis, our Specialist Fruit Grower, for a hands-on workshop exploring the essential techniques of winter fruit tree pruning.

Begin with a guided introduction to the fruit trees in our gardens, learning about the tools and techniques used to maintain their health, shape and productivity.

Under Andy’s expert guidance, you’ll gain practical experience pruning a variety of fruit trees, discovering why, when, where and how to make the right cuts. Explore different training forms, including espaliers, step-overs, single and double cordons, and Belgian fences, while learning how to encourage healthy growth and improve future harvests.

Whether you're tending a small garden, allotment or larger orchard, you'll leave with the knowledge and confidence to care for your own fruit trees throughout the seasons.
