This course was exactly what I was hoping it would be. The content was very well organized, engaging and practical. I feel confident in using the skills presented in my small home orchard this season. I'm also considering adding a sweet cherry or plum using the UFO method next year as this idea was new to me and very interesting.

Loved the in depth discussion on different pruning and growing techniques. I have a number of older apple trees that need 'brought back' and I'm excited to start working on those. Finding information on how to go about that hasn't been easy. Thanks!!

Excellent course in pruning fruit trees. Easy to follow, allows for plenty of reviewing to really "own" your skills. Susan is an enjoyable instructor and the course follows a logical sequence that goes from basic understanding
to more complex techniques. I am now ready to help growers grow more and better fruit! Thanks Susan!

This was super informative and made it really easy to understand and absorb the material. Pruning has always been intimidating for me, but now I have way more confidence to try these techniques on my own!

Really great info. As an ISA certified arborist for almost 20 years some of it felt pretty basic, but a review is always in order.
Helpful info on auxin and how it relates to pruning. Great job on conveying the principles of pruning.

Very helpful! This class did a great job of explaining when and why to prune and also explaining about tree hormones and why we need to prune so things don't get out of hand affecting fruit tree production.

I couldn't be happier with this course. It built on the knowledge gained in the Certificate in Fruit Tree Care course, and introduced me to inspiring new techniques to try in my plantng.
