Pruning workshop at Arthur's Rein Orchard

This is a FREE event for Seacroft residents as part of the Seacroft Fruit Forest project run by Fruit Works Co-operative.

Apple and pear trees should be pruned in winter to maintain a healthy shape and size and to ensure they will fruit plentifully for future decades.

Gini from Fruit Works Co-operative will teach you the theory and practice of winter fruit tree pruning, and together we will help to maintain the fruit trees at Arthur's Rein Orchard.

Location

Arthur's Rein Orchard, Wykebeck Way, Seacroft, Leeds LS14 1HX
