WORKSHOP: Pruning, tree training, structural work
Sunday 17th June 10am-12pm (Rain day 24th June)
100 Turamoe Road, Pakipaki (south side of Hastings)
Experienced tutors Chris Ryan and Clare Buckner will present this demonstration workshop, and will have with them all the tools and gear needed for you to enjoy a practical and helpful mornings work. Chris and Clare will be discussing how to prune for the purpose you require, various styles of pruning, how to make good cuts, the ongoing effects of pruning, and show you examples of these techniques.
The trees on this property are young and perfect for setting up, so this workshop will not focus on remedial pruning, but pruning to establish and maintain your home orchard.

TRAVEL DIRECTIONS…… Google Maps will lead you astray, it will send you down a dead-end branch of Turamoe Road.
Head down Turamoe Road until you come to a sharp left-hand turn – turn this corner and continue straight until you see our driveway & Treecrops events sign on the right – about half a kilometre along.
From Napier, get onto the Expressway and keep going south until you have been through the four large roundabouts at the Hastings end . After the fourth roundabout, Turamoe Road is the second road on the right. If you pass Pakipaki School, you’ve gone too far.
From Havelock, head down Te Aute Road to the new(ish) Pakipaki roundabout. Take the second exit, pass Pakipaki School andTuramoe Road is first on the left after the school.
