Marbleseed Conference 2026 - Presentations

Join the Organic Fruit Growers Association (OFGA) and instructors Madeline Wimmer, Ben McAvoy and Laura Mortinsen for a hands-on introduction to pruning perennial fruits. We'll open with a brief presentation on the theory, practice, and tools of pruning. Then you will have a chance to visit experienced fruit growers one by one as they show how to interpret the history and future fruiting potential of branches, demonstrate where and how to make pruning cuts, and display their favorite pruning tools. Leave with the confidence and knowledge to prune a diversity of fruiting crops!
