Grafting Workshop

721 Foster Street,Durham NC 27701

11 February, 2023

Description

Do you want fruit trees but have little room to grow multiple varieties? Learn the cleft grafting method commonly used to add a different variety onto an existing fruit tree so that both varieties produce flowers and fruit. After the workshop, join us for our annual scion exchange from 11am to 12pm. February is the perfect time for winter pruning. Instead of composting the discarded branches (scions), exchange them with other orchardists and pick up some new-to-you varieties.
