SUMMARY:Join OSU Master Gardener for lesson on pruning fruit trees
DESCRIPTION:Join Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener Sherry Sheng for an online lesson on pruning fruit trees\, from noon–1 p.m. January 17\, 2024. \nDo your fruit trees have a good form and produce a consistent crop every year? Can you reach them safely to prune and harvest? If not\, this class can help. Learn proven practices that will boost your confidence. \nPruning is important to fruit trees regardless of age. Young trees require vigilant monitoring and shaping to develop a strong framework. Mature trees need annual\, skilled pruning to stay productive. \nThis class will discuss how to use different types of pruning cuts and when and where to apply them. We will demonstrate how to shape a young tree and steps for pruning apple\, pear\, plum\, cherry\, apricot\, peach\, nectarine\, persimmon and fig. You will learn whether fruits are produced on spurs or shoots and how to stimulate an abundance of fruiting wood to support good production. \nThis online seminar is free with advanced registration. Even if you cannot attend live\, register anyway. A recording link will be sent two days after the class. Register here.

SUMMARY:Pruning Ornamental Trees
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Sherry Sheng\n10-Minute University™ is the trademark of short classes on essential gardening information. All presentations are free and each is accompanied by a handout. Oregon State University owns the trademark and Clackamas County Master Gardeners develop and manage the program. \nDo your trees have a strong framework and pleasing form? Are you confident with pruning? If not\, this class can help. \nLearn how to build a strong tree that can better withstand wind\, snow\, ice and heat. We will discuss components of a strong framework — branch placement and distribution\, crotch angle\, aspect ratio\, taper\, root architecture – all contributing to greater resiliency in this changing climate. \nYou will learn how to properly use heading\, removal\, and reduction cuts for desired results while minimizing damage to the tree. Soon you will feel at ease with making cuts for the right reason\, at the right time\, and in the right location of the plant. \nSPEAKER: Sherry Sheng\, is an Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener\, who leads and teaches for the award-winning 10-Minute University™ Program.

SUMMARY:Growing Fruit Trees in the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Ashley Thompson\n10-Minute University™ is the trademark of short classes on essential gardening information. All presentations are free and each is accompanied by a handout. Oregon State University owns the trademark and Clackamas County Master Gardeners develop and manage the program. \nFruit trees can produce for many years\, even decades. To reach a tree’s full fruiting potential requires the gardener to select a variety that matches local climate\, choose a good specimen and plant it with care\, and nurture it with proper watering\, disease and pest management\, and pruning. \nThis session will cover the above for gardeners who are interested in growing apples\, pears\, cherries\, peaches and plums in the Pacific Northwest. Among the important topics are: \n\nClimate implications: Chilling hours\, heat units\nSelection: Relative ease to grow\, based on pest and disease problems\nTree: Root stock for grafted tree\, own-root options\nLocation: Sun\, microclimate – wind\, cold\, heat\nSoil Preparation: Organic matter\, pH\, tilth\, planting\, mulch\nWatering: General rule for quantity and frequency\nTraining and Pruning\n\nSPEAKER: Ashley Thompson is an OSU Assistant Professor of Horticulture and Extension expert on sustainable tree fruit production. Dr. Thompson’s expertise includes soil fertility\, root stocks and varieties\, plant nutrition\, and tree fruit viruses. She works with commercial pear and cherry growers in Wasco and Hood River Counties of Oregon. \nThis online seminar is free with advanced registration. Even if you cannot attend live\, register anyway. A recording link will be sent 2 days after the class. Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_e82cNkiKSkadDqvpxWbuGg

Oregon State University owns the trademark and Clackamas County Master Gardeners develop and manage the program. \nEveryone knows blueberries are delicious parcels of anti-oxidants\, but how many are aware blueberry plants can live for decades if proper pruning keeps up the production of young fruiting wood? \nWe will share best practices worked out through years of research by Oregon State University scientists. This class begins with how to choose among different varieties. Then we discuss soil preparations and planting techniques\, followed by cultural practices including fertilizing\, watering\, and pruning. Finally\, we review pest and disease problems and how to manage them. \nSPEAKER:  Jane Collier is an Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener who teaches for the award-winning 10-Minute University™ Program.
