Speaker: Dr. Larry Mellichamp - Professor, Horticulturist

Have you committed crape-murder, hydrangea-homicide, azalea-assault? Do you want to learn proper pruning techniques?

Pruning is the art and science of removing branches from trees and shrubs to (1) direct or enhance their growth, (2) form them into desired shapes, or (3) act so deftly as to make it seem as though you had not pruned at all. This beginners class will consider the ways in which woody plants grow and how to envision your final result such that you can decide how, where and when to prune, using the proper tools.
