RE-USE, RECYCLE, RE-IMAGINE

Apple Grafting Workshop April 4, 6:30-8:30 PM

3/15/2019

0 Comments

 
Grafting is an art form as well as a science. Why graft? Because you can't get great apples from seeds! The answer may seem simple but the practice is ancient and the steps are exacting. Get your questions about grafting answered and learn how to successfully graft a pleasing variety of apple to hardy rootstock to get the apples you want.

Northwoods residents can learn the basics of successful grafting at an upcoming Apple Grafting Workshop. Kevin Schoessow, Area Ag Development Agent, will lead this workshop. Each participant will receive three hardy apple rootstocks. Apple bud (scion) wood from different varieties will be available for grafting or participants can bring their own scion wood.
