Sunday, February 29, 2004 | ® | Pruning workshop for professionals at PSU Pruning is the removal of plant parts, usually shoots and branches, but sometimes buds, roots, flowers or fruit in order to meet a human objective. Proper pruning incorporates science, and knowledge of plant biology into the skill or art of pruning. Unfortunately, many trees and shrubs are not pruned properly in the nursery or landscape, which quickly leads to internal decay, poor branch structure and future storm damage. “Pruning for Professionals” is designed to teach the funda- mentals of pruning shrubs and trees in the landscape. Partici- pants will learn pruning theory, terminology, and plant biologi- cal response in the morning. This will be followed by a “hands-on” session outdoors where pruning theory will be applied in the field. This pro- gram is intended for commer- cial landscapers, tree workers, grounds maintenance person- nel, and municipal employees who maintain trees. Partici- pants will learn how to reno- vate and maintain evergreen and deciduous shrubs; make pruning cuts tat reduce the po- tential for decay; thin out small flowering trees; select and use proper pruning tools; and per- form work in accordance with American National Standards Institutes A300 Part 1 - Tree Pruning Standards. The workshop is scheduled for Thursday, March 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Penn State Wilkes-Barre Campus in Lehman. The cost is $35 and includes an extensive reference packet, including the ISA Prun- ing Best Management Practices Book (an $8 value) and lunch. For more information, contact Penn State Cooperative Exten- sion at 825-1701 or 602-0600.

Wine Consultant Steve Pol- lack from the Wine and Spirits Store in Clarks Summit will be at the event to give instructions in how to best appreciate fine wines. He will present six dif- ferent types for tasting. He will explain how to look at the col- or, sniff the bouquet, and savor the complex flavors in each of them. He will make sugges- tions about how to choose the right wine to serve with food. This is one of five planned fund raisers for this year. Spon- soring events such as this one to raise extra money has be- come essential to libraries all over Pennsylvania as they deal with drastic cuts in state fund- ing.
