Fruit Tree Grafting

Tree grafting is an ancient practice that propagates new trees with a known fruit or nut variety. As it produces a replica tree, it can be used to replace an old ‘worn out’ apple or pear tree, or can simply be used to replicate a tasty or favourite fruit variety.

Join Moyna and Anna from Claver Hill to learn the theory and have a go!

This session will offer an introduction to:

• Basics of fruit tree grafting, including rootstock qualities, scion wood, where to source them and the tools to use.
• Different grafting techniques.

There will be plenty of time to practice too!
