During this class we will talk about the importance of tree grafting and the varying methods one can choose. We will provide a sharp knife, grafting wax, tape, soil, rootstock, scionwood, and pots. Each ticket holder will be given 6 rootstocks, and scion wood to create 2 heirloom pear varieties, and 4 apple varieties to graft.
It is reccomended that you keep the fruit trees in our greenhouse holding area until they have healed and begun growing (usually 1-2 months) and can pick up later in the spring.
Feel free to bring a friend or two along if you want to share the experience of grafting together; just let Andrew know how many people you plan to bring so we have enough seating!
Fruit Trees to Graft:
Lincoln Pear (1834 from my orchard)
Bartlett Pear (1765 from my orchard)
Honeycrisp Apple (1960 apple; Minnesota)
Winter Banana Apple (1876 apple; Indiana)
Cox Orange Pippin Apple (1825 apple; England)
Liberty Apple (1955 apple; New York)
All of these varieties will give you a beautiful selection for fresh eating, baking, sauces, pies, and cold storage and will be grafted on a semi-standard fruit tree which is perfect for home production!
Cost of class includes all materials, averaging out to $40.00 per fruit tree!
