Save the date for the White Clover Grange tree grafting workshop on Saturday March 28th from 1-4. We will be grafting heritage apples and some pears.
Grafting is an art and allows us to grow a genetic replica of a living fruit tree. We have some amazing old trees growing in the area and want to keep them alive for generations to come!
If you’re interested in grafting a copy of your own tree (or a friend or neighbor’s), now’s the time to collect scion wood. Scions are long straight twigs about the size of a pencil or a little larger. Cut them with sharp pruners and store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until the workshop.
To sign up for the workshop, contact Jennifer Childress with the White Clover Grange.
