Demonstration by Bobby Mottern, director of horticulture at Duke Gardens Â
Winter is the time for pruning. Pruning can help minimize disease, direct a tree’s growth and reduce future problems. Bobby will discuss goals, methods and timing while demonstrating proper pruning techniques on a small tree under 15 feet tall. We will begin by evaluating a tree for its health and architecture and then demonstrate several pruning strategies.  Â
