I Am Looking for Fruit Trees to Prune

I want to try something different this year. In previous years I conducted fruit tree pruning workshops at a university facility. This year I would like to try something different. If there are homeowners who would like to cooperate in a community fruit tree pruning workshop in their home landscape, I would be interested in pursuing it during the month of January. We can talk about large fruit trees but I am not prepared to climb them for demonstration purposes. Interested parties can contact me at [email protected] and we can exchange phone numbers. Requirements. Fruit trees should be between newly planted up to 5 or maybe even 7 years old. Home landscapes should be open to the invited public. Permission to prune fruit trees and use them for demonstration purposes.
