WORKSHOP: Restoring Older Fruit Trees
|
 Join Canopy and Board-Certified Master Arborist Dave Muffly for a day of learning techniques for revitalizing old fruit trees which have suffered from neglect or poor pruning.
The workshop site includes more than a dozen types of fruit trees, covering all the major fruit types we grow, from apples to citrus to peaches. All the trees have been growing for decades, and virtually all are in need of restoration from the minor to the major. This is real-world fruit tree pruning - what do you do to bring back a valuable tree that needs help? We'll answer that question in this hands-on workshop. You will have a chance to learn with others in a feedback-rich tutorial environment.
When: February 13, 1PM - 4PM
Cost: $25. Enrollment limited.
Rain Date February 20
Contact sharon@canopy.org to sign up or mail check to 3921 East Bayshore Rd., Palo Alto, CA 94303. We will send you directions and details.

WORKSHOP: Structural Pruning
|
 As part of the ongoing East Palo Alto Tree Initiative, please join Canopy and Board-Certified Arborist Dave Muffly for the ins and outs of proper young tree structural training on a wide variety of trees species.
This early pruning is often the most important a tree receives in it's entire lifespan: good initial training can add decades to the life of a tree, and that can mean a lot not only to the owner of the tree, but also to the arborist who prunes the tree. The field portion of the program will take place within a group of more than 900 trees Canopy planted in 2007. The planting includes both trees you see everyday to rare and highly successful exotic oaks.
When: 9:15AM, Friday, March 5th
Where: Canopy, 3921 East Bayshore, Palo Alto
Cost: $75
Contact sharon@canopy.org to sign up or mail check to 3921 East Bayshore Rd., Palo Alto, CA 94303. We will send you directions and details.
6 CEU's available for Certified Arborists.
