It’s time to prune some of the shrubs, bushes, vines and trees that dot our landscapes, but unless you know how to properly tackle this annual task, you could unwittingly lop off new buds or otherwise cause problems that won’t show up until it’s too late.
Join Johnny Coley, N.C. Cooperative Extension horticulture agent in Granville and Person counties for a free pruning workshop on Saturday, Feb. 25 to learn the ABC’s of proper pruning and care for a variety of plants that grow in the Piedmont. Coley will demonstrate how to care for fruiting plants like apples, pears, figs and peaches, as well as blueberry bushes and grapevines.
There is no fee to participate, but registration is required, Coley said. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fruit-pruning-workshop-tickets 539367291087
The class will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at 450 C.C. Andrews Rd. in Timberlake, NC 27583.
