Growing & Pruning Stone Fruits: Saturday, July 20 • 11am-12:30pm

Plums, cherries, and peaches, oh my! Join us in the HOEC Community Orchard to learn all about growing stone fruits in the Pacific Northwest.

Some of the most common inquiries we get in the spring are questions related to troubleshooting stone fruit trees.

For example: Why are my peach leaves curling, why is my plum tree oozing, and what happened to the blossoms on my cherry!?

If you aren’t sure what we mean by stone fruits - the answer is in the name. Peaches, plums, cherries, apricots, nectarines, etc. Fruits with a “stone” in the center that contains the seed.

In this workshop, we will talk about the pests, diseases, and problems you are most likely to encounter in this region and learn how and when to properly prune stone fruits in the PNW.
