For Current MKE Apple Tree Growers:
Did you adopt a bench grafted tree last year? If so—it’s time to get pruning! Some orchardists prune year round (if you have hundreds of trees it’s a year round job!) but our experts tell us that we are approaching the best time of year to prune: during the dormant season when the weather is mild (above freezing.) Here are some resources to help you establish a central leader and keep your tree strong.
Volunteer opportunities! Would you like to tend to MKE apple trees planted in community lcations? Would you like to help create a digital map of all known MKE Apple trees in the region? Contact jcasey@slowfoodwise.org
