KENNA, W.Va. – West Virginia State University (WVSU) Extension Service will present a free workshop to help landowners properly maintain fruit trees Thursday, March 12, at 2 p.m. at the Kenna Grange in Kenna, W.Va. Pre-registration is required.

Designed for all experience levels, the workshop will focus on all aspects of fruit tree production, including planting, pruning, maintenance, harvesting and grafting. Instruction will be followed by a hands-on demonstration of proper pruning and grafting.
WVSU Extension Service is partnering with West Virginia University Extension Service’s Jackson County office to host the workshop.
