Thanks to all who joined us for an afternoon of pruning and discussion with Michael Judd & Matthew Jacobsen on our 60 year-old chestnut orchard!
Pruning is a time-honored technique to rejuvenate woody plants by creating new growth and increasing light and air flow. With a grant from NorthEast SARE, SilvoCulture is studying the effect of pruning on yield of Chinese chestnut trees. Michael will be speaking on the why and how of pruning and arborist Matthew will be providing a pruning demonstration on the trees in the orchard.
