Even though the garden is quiet and the trees are bare, it's time to start thinking about fruit tree care. Remember - healthy trees equals healthy fruit! We'd like to recommend the following opportunities to learn more about caring for your fruit tree:
- Our friends at City Fruit have a host of classes coming up on fruit tree pruning and care. Also check out their resources for learning about pruning and tree care.
- Plant Amnesty also has a variety of pruning classes in February and March. If you don't want to do your own pruning, they also offer an arborist referral service.
- The Seattle Tree Fruit Society has a list of upcoming workshops and classes.
- 21 Acres in Woodinville will hold a fruit tree grafting and care seminar in February.
- Sky Nursery in Shoreline is hosting several free workshops in January and February.
- Plans are also in the works for a hands-on fruit tree pruning workshop and volunteer workparty at Marra Farm next month. We did this last year with great success, and are excited to offer it again. E-mail fruitharvest@solid-ground.org for more information or watch this space for details.

These are great! Thanks for the tips
Fruit trees also need care so as to ensure long life to your fruit trees and you should get healthy and safe fruits from them. Hosting workshop is a great way to teach home gardener how to care for fruit trees.
