Intensivkurs Obstbaumschnitt (Jungbaum) bei Darmstadt

In the organizer's words:

Learn how to plant, train and prune young fruit trees correctly! The intensive young tree pruning course imparts sound knowledge and craftsmanship according to the Oeschberg method - for all those who want to give trees a healthy start in life.

If there are still to be orchards in 50 years' time, we need to start planting and training young trees now. The School for Fruit Tree Care's intensive young tree pruning course is aimed at anyone who wants to learn how to properly establish, care for and maintain young fruit trees in the long term.

In the course, you will learn how to train fruit trees using the Oeschberg method - from the first years of pruning to a stable, strong crown. This method is not only suitable for standard trees in orchards, but also for medium-growing garden trees.

The pruning techniques for young trees are particularly varied - and this is where you have the greatest influence on the later development of the tree.
After all, the way a tree will grow and bear fruit throughout its life is decided when it is young.

📚 Online theory (February 11, 15:00 - 19:00 via Zoom)
In this four-hour introduction, we will teach you the basics of pruning fruit trees and training young trees:

• Growth behavior & establishment principles
• Pruning techniques & development goals
• Decision-making: which pruning for which young tree?
• This unit creates the understanding needed to put what you have learned into practice.

✂️ Practice (face-to-face course, date & location of your choice)

• Working in small groups (max. 24 participants, 2 trainers)
• Each participant cuts several young trees independently under supervision
• Direct implementation of the Oeschberg system
• Step-by-step guidance with a script for further learning

After the course, you can apply what you have learned independently and deepen your knowledge with the help of the detailed script. In future, you will be able to confidently assess which pruning measures make sense for which tree - and why.
