Hybrid Training (instructor-led online lecture + field practicum) for small landscape companies. Attendees will learn how to make pruning cuts in accordance with the current ANSI A300 pruning standard following the NATURAL pruning system, identify spring-flowering species, and understand the nuances of pruning timing. Without understanding which species flower on “old wood,” landscapers can make the common mistake of removing next year’s blooms. Attendees will advance beyond basic pruning skills to learn how to maximize flowering in trees and shrubs.
