Join us this Saturday for a winter fruit tree pruning workshop with Urban Forest Pro\u2019s certified Jeff M. Hosted by Portland Fruit Tree Project (PFTP), this workshop is complimentary for homeowners who have fruit trees registered with PFTP, and just $25 for all others. It will be held in the Collins View neighborhood of Portland.<\/p>\n
Workshop instructor Jeff M is our Head of Sales and Career Development. He began learning the tree trade as a sapling, under the tutelage of his father. Jeff kick started his first tree service firm in Colorado seventeen years ago. In 2000, he moved to the Portland area and founded Urban Forest Pro. Today, he is an ISA-certified arborist with more than 24 years of experience in all things arboriculture, including Portland tree pruning service<\/a>. He trains new arborists and emphasizes the importance of education for Urban Forest Pro\u2019s arborists and customers. Jeff is thrilled to be sharing his expertise on winter tree service!<\/p>\n Portland workshop participants can expect the following agenda for our workshop: Those who sign up for this workshop can expect to walk away with a basic vocabulary of tree pruning terms. They\u2019ll learn how heading cuts differ from thinning cuts, as well as why apical (terminal) buds grow more robustly than lateral buds. Water spouts, suckers, and other growth to remove will be covered in this workshop, as will the \u201c3 Ds\u201d of pruning (removing diseased, dead\/dying, and disoriented branches first). Finally, the basic why, when, and how of fruit tree pruning will be discussed.<\/p>\n Anyone with fruit trees on their property would be wise to attend this workshop.
