Rotary Botanical Gardens' Garden Speaker Series banner

Learn the best way to care for your trees through pruning

While the tree is still young it can be set up for success as it develops into a grand focal point of the landscape. Older trees require very little pruning if they were cared for appropriately when young. Live demonstration on how to make cuts and the tools to use. You will learn the nuts and bolts of what to look for and how to make your trees look their best!
