Re: Pruning and Careing for Fruit Trees 5Sep 08, 2010 12:16 am The Chap hosting this workshop is considered by many as one of Australia's leading Orchard Consultants. He was behind starting the WA Ag. Depts Advisory Service and worked for the WA Ag Dept for many years. The skills learnt at this workshop will not be found in many books but instead in the minds of great Orchardists with much experience. He is also someone who after many years of old school plant care methods is also coming around fast to the newer and better ways of doing things He is also a pretty candid bloke so it should be interesting Check Out his web site http://www.petercoppin.com/ Re: Pruning and Careing for Fruit Trees 6Sep 08, 2010 9:48 pm Fu, I cant go Got a river wine cruise the day before so Saturdays out.
