Planning and Planting a Fruit Orchard

Event ended

Planning and Planting a Fruit Orchard

From GBP 60.00

Location

Date

Nov 18 2017 10:00 - 15:00

Description

Are you looking to plant a small orchard for yourself and your family? Or maybe a community orchard in your local town? Perhaps you have greater ambitions of starting a new juice and cider enterprise.

They are many things to consider before planting a new orchard - choosing the best site, understanding pollination, selecting a rootstock, the best varieties, potential yields, when to plant, how to protect from rabbits/sheep/deer… and that’s before you’ve even dug the first hole.

This one-day course will put you on the right path to planting an orchard of healthy and productive fruit trees suitable for your location and needs. It will be predominantly classroom-based learning with slides and discussion, with some practical sessions for tree planting and formative pruning.

The course is led by fruit tree specialist Tom Nancarrow from Pip & Stone Fruit Tree Services, a specialist pruning and planting service of fruit trees and orchards. Tom also works for Adams Apples, growing over 200 varieties of fruit trees on their nursery near Honiton.
