Workshop Sunday On Pruning Apple Trees

Andy Abello

A pruning workshop on old apple trees will be held on November 20 at 9 a.m. on the Schmid Preserve. Meet at the Edgecomb Town Hall on Route 27 before driving to the workshop site at the Hagget Field. Call Andy Abello at 882-6634 with any questions.

The morning will be a hands-on workshop on pruning old and neglected apple trees led by Barry Hathorne, area arborist. Barry will work on a small ancient orchard still standing but in need of pruning. Bring your own hand tools, if you'd like.

Maine is full of old apple trees, whether in the back yard or in the woods. With care and pruning, they can be productive after years of neglect. Their heirloom fruit is often much better tasting as well as more hardy than modern varieties. This workshop is a chance to rejuvenate your old trees by learning pruning methods of these beautiful, gnarled old apple trees.

Donations for this workshop will be greatly appreciated and will benefit the trail work and maintenance of the Charles and Constance Schmid Land Preserve in Edgecomb, a 766-acre preserve open to the public year round.

For information contact Andy Abello at 882-6634.
