On this week’s scaffolds, I talk to Mario Miranda Sazo, a horticulturalist on the Lake Ontario fruit team about summer pruning. I had this conversation with Mario last week on Wedneday June, 26th– so keep that in mind as you are listening as he references time points. Also, over the course of the conversation, we mention a drawing in the lake ontario fruit facts newsletter, this drawing and more photos are linked in the show notes. Also this week, Kerik talks summer diseases, and Anna gives us our state of the state update on trap captures and degree day accumulation.   Mario's Summer Pruning Drawing & Tips Virtual Orchard Scout Training #2 Berry Pest Monitoring Network - NEW Blog!
