Truffle farming in North America is a new and complex agricultural movement that is gaining traction. Many new orchards are being planted and many scientists around the world are busy trying to understand the complexity of the microscopic underground fungus that creates the amazing truffle. While much time and money is spent on the soil best suited for the truffle, the trees that are associated with it must also be properly cared for.

Today we are fortunate to have the chance to produce a tutorial concerning the proper pruning maintenance to keep your orchard healthy.

Joining Fran Angerer at his Geyserville, CA orchard are Stephanie Jarvis of Pacific Truffle Growers and Brian Gleason of INFACO, USA. They will be showing the proper use of handheld power tools and pruning methods to maintain a healthy orchard.

At the conclusion of the videos we will have time for questions.
