Description

Ever wondered how the majority of trees we purchase in nurseries get their start? Join us at the Heritage Tree Center for a special propagational demonstration on chip and T-bud grafting. Plantsman Nick Castrataro, head of plant production at Morningstar Nursery, will lend his knowledge and experience on this specialized propagation that is used extensively to produce shade trees in nurseries around the world. He will offer some scientific background, perform a step by step of the grafting technique, and discuss the importance of this method and why it is so heavily utilized.
