FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SANTA CRUZ, CA--Fruit tree expert Orin Martin will offer you all the tips you need to prune your fruit trees successfully at a two-hour pruning workshop on Saturday, January 29, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Proper pruning will improve the health, appearance, and productivity of your fruit trees. Martin, who manages the Alan Chadwick Garden at UCSC, will cover numerous types of trees, including apple, pear, peach, and persimmon.
Martin will give a talk and then demonstrate pruning techniques that are useful for backyard gardeners.
