Learn to prune your own fruit trees

Learn to prune your own fruit trees with confidence. We’ll walk you through it hands-on, in a lesson that runs as long as you need, so your trees stay healthy and keep producing fruit for years to come.

FAQs

How long does a fruit tree pruning lesson take?
It’s entirely up to you — sessions are charged hourly and run for as long as you need to feel confident pruning your own trees, whether that’s one hour or several.
Will my fruit trees still produce fruit if I prune them myself?
Yes — as long as the tree is healthy and pruned correctly, it will keep producing fruit. That’s exactly what we teach you to do.
Do you offer this for a whole orchard or just backyard trees?
Both — whether it’s a couple of trees in a suburban backyard in Ashburton or Christchurch, or a small home orchard out towards Darfield or Leeston, we tailor the lesson to what you’ve actually got.
Can you just prune my fruit trees for me instead?
Of course — the lesson is an option for those who’d like to learn, not a requirement. If you’d rather we handled it every year, just let us know.
