Learn how to produce your own fruit trees inexpensively, or preserve the lineage of an old apple tree growing on your property.

Participants will learn about tree biology as well as the tools, techniques and materials needed to successfully graft trees. The class includes bench grafting demonstrations in the classroom, and a top-working demonstration on established trees outdoors. There is a small fee and pre-registration is required.
