Proper pruning, such as on this apple tree, can keep plants healthier and more productive.
A licensed arborist in Delta Junction will lead a free in-person workshop on the proper way to prune trees and shrubs. The workshop is sponsored by the University of ÐÓ°Épro Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service and Partners for Progress in Delta.
