If you're interested in #FruitTree #grafting #HandsOn #education, see info below.

Learn the basic skill and knowledge you need to start grafting and graft your own heritage apple tree to take home!

This #workshop will describe the reasons for grafting, when to graft, and when to collect budwood. The workshop will be hands on and participants will be introduced to tree terminology, grafting tools and materials, and will be shown various grafting techniques. Participants will get the chance to practice their new skills on spare branches and once confident, do an actual graft. Each participant will be able to choose an apple variety from the heratige collection at Welland Orchard to graft on to a dwarfing rootstock, to create a new apple tree to take home.

All tools and materials will be provided.

Be sure to come dressed for the elements as this workshop will be held outdoors.

My first graft looks to have worked. I couldn't get a Scion same size as rootstock, no graft tape so I used Plumber's Mait instead..... But 1/2 attempts worked. It is my whopper apple, eaters that grow up to 1kg in weight. #TreeGrafting #apples #malus

Just learned about tree grafting wizard Axel Erlandson (1884-1964).

Has anyone seen these trees in the flesh, so to speak? I hope Gilroy Gardens is taking good care of them.
