AG Episode 14: Pruning Like Pros!

(4/17): Our 6th-grade Agriculture students got a crash course in tree trimming from Julia McDowell, Master Gardener of Pontotoc. With clippers in hand, they learned where to cut, tackled the three Ds—damaged, dead, and diseased—and got the inside scoop on fighting fire blight, the pesky bacteria that tried to take over the pear trees last season.
The students quickly discovered that pruning isn’t just about making trees look good—it’s about keeping them healthy. And while no fingers were accidentally pruned, a few students may have tried to talk Julia into letting them wield the bigger loppers. Watch out, apple and pear trees—our 6th graders mean business! 🍏✂️
