Fruit Tree Care

Our Fruit Tree Stewardship programs provide opportunities for tree owners and interested community members to develop the knowledge and skills they need to care for their own fruit trees, and to help care for fruit trees in their community. Through these programs we are increasing the health and productivity of fruit trees.

PFTP's Fruit Tree Stewardship programs include:

Tree Care Workshops
