LUSH Valley’s Prune-Along program is making waves for those who need help with the yield on their fruit trees in the Comox Valley.

“Our trees would not be in the wonderful shape they are now if not for the Prune-Along program,” says homeowner Mary Bogue.

“We are so happy to share our lovely pears with neighbours and friends, as well as LUSH’s gleaning program. We look forward to seeing their volunteer crew come to pick our fruit every year.”

Prune-Along pairs tree experts with participating tree stewards to pass on the fundamentals of fruit tree care and pruning.

Prune-Along sessions are available weekly through April 7th.

Each session focuses on the essentials of tree care: creating an ideal shape for ease and safety of harvest, optimizing sun penetration and air flow to improve fruit quality, and pruning to promote good health and vigor.

Each two-hour Prune-Along session costs $180 and aims to leave homeowners equipped with the skills and knowledge required to care for their trees and yield abundant fruit for years to come.
