If you don't find someone, then i suggest Mr Google as your other option.

Youtube has some good pruning videos for different kinds of fruit trees.

Contact Diacks in Invers to see if they could recommend someone :)

Yup and get yourself a copy of a Yates garden guide. I have been known to be standing out there with secateurs in one hand and book in the other. And step back after each cut and look at the whole picture (the tree, not the book).

The thing is - if you can't recognize a leaf bud from a fruit bud you end up pruning at the wrong spot & then you get a bunch of water shoots that stick straight up! And produce nothing!
