Instances of mal-pruning and good intentions gone awry are sometimes explained away as “pruning art.” From improperly sheared hedges to ineffective design and training, this class will contrast examples of mal-pruning with bona-fide forms of pruning art and show how to use them to best effect. We’ll cover hedges and topiary, espalier, coppicing, pollarding, and pleaching, ending with a humorous note with slides from Cass Turnbull’s “The Good, The Bad, and the Bizarre” collection.
Part of the Master Pruner Series held in partnership with PlantAmnesty. Professional credits available: ISA - 2, APLD - 2, CPH - 2, ecoPRO - 2, NALP/WALP - 2, LA-CES - 2.
