FREE workshop for pruning citrus and fruit trees

Ian from Marybank

Citrus and Fruit tree pruning

Do you have trees on your property that provide fruit?
Do you want to learn how to prune them to get the best out of them?

Citrus trees, including Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Mandarins, to name a few, can be pruned throughout the year. Because they are evergreen, now is a good time.

My name is Ian Huddleston/WizeOwl101. In conjunction with Waimarama Community Gardens, I am holding a FREE workshop on how to prune citrus trees.*

Venue: The Waimarama Community Gardens located off the corner of Brook Street and Tantragee Road.

Date and Time: March 13, 2-4pm

What to bring: notebook and camera

Bookings: Contact Sally at 021 170 9443

*In July, I intend to hold a workshop on pruning deciduous fruit trees. Date and time to be announced.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
