MidFEx Pruning Workshop Cary IL – Sunday Sept 22

Event Description: Shelly Kibbler has invited MidFEx members to her place to help her prune some of her young fruit trees. Experienced members will be on hand to demonstrate pruning strategies and techniques, and provide hands on feedback for attendees – a great learning event for members with young trees at home.
