Structural Pruning Workshop Held in Japan (February 11, 2025)

On February 11, 2025, I successfully hosted a workshop in Japan dedicated to Structural Pruning (“構造的剪定” – Kōzōteki Sentei).

This event aimed to introduce and promote understanding of this important technique for guiding the healthy development of young trees.

The workshop began with an indoor session lasting about thirty minutes, focusing on the basic techniques of structural pruning.

This was followed by a two-hour outdoor workshop. During this session, participants observed young trees and discussed potential pruning points as a group. After the discussion, one representative participant made the pruning cuts carefully. This was based on the agreed-upon approach. Everyone saw the practical application of the concepts in a real-world setting.

I was very pleased with the participants’ enthusiasm and active engagement throughout the day. The positive atmosphere reflected a strong interest in learning more about proper tree care techniques.
