Heritage fruit trees,

How to Select, buy, plant, graft new ones and care for them. We will also discuss some of those varieties we had once and what is still available now with Apples, plums, Nashi, Pears & Cherries plus so much more.

Learn How & Why this is the method used all over the world.

Summer pruning...... why do most orchards use this method now to reduce labour instead of the old winter pruning.

We will look at the many reasons to change to this practice in the home garden and orchard, with this hands on session.

rather than me duplictate the same notes on trees these sites can give excellent info on many varieties , they however are not comprehensive on US and some Aussie ones.
