The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

On February 9 at 6:00 pm, WSU Master Gardener Ted Cunningham will demonstrate the technique used when pruning fruit trees. Pruning your trees will control the size of the tree and improve fruit quality. Fruit trees should be pruned every year. Proper pruning techniques reduces disease and promotes greater fruit production. The class will be held in the Cowlitz County Training Center, 1942 First Avenue in Longview, located on the dike just south of the Hall of Justice for $10.00 per family. The workshop is sponsored by Washington State University Extension. For more information, contact Gary Fredricks at garyf@wsu.edu or 577-3014 Ext 3. This class will help those novices that have never pruned trees before and answer the questions of those more experienced.
