Fruit Tree Grafting Workshop:
Join us as we host John Holzwart (‘Little John’) for a comprehensive presentation explaining several approaches to grafting, followed by a demonstration and hands-on learning. Participants graft and take home two semi-dwarf fruit trees of your choice (apple, pear or plum). Root
stocks and scionwood (fruit tree cuttings) provided. Additional plant
materials will be available to purchase for grafting more trees at home.
Bring a sharp, clean pocket knife or similar; some knives available for
your use during class. Limited space; register early. *This class is
followed by a free scionwood exchange. See additional details below*
Cost for Grafting Workshop: $40 until 3/5, $45 after.
Free Scionwood Exchange:
Stick around after the workshop for a free scionwood exchange and fun time trading fruit tree cuttings! Newbies and seasoned grafters will mingle and swap scionwood of
various fruit trees. All we ask is that
you bring a few labelled cuttings of dormant scionwood; no patented
varieties please. If
you are bringing scionwood to trade or give away, please be ready to supply
a botanical name and description of the fruit.
