Grafting Hardy Apple Trees

Grafting apple trees is a magical experience.

You can take a small twig from your favorite apple tree, graft it onto hardy roots, and in a few years (depending on the type of root stock), you’ll have a tree that produces those same, tasty apples.

In the class, you’ll learn basic grafting techniques and how to care for your new trees. We’ll practice on willow, and when you’re ready, you’ll get 3 rootstock and “scion” wood from local, hardy, and delicious apple trees to graft onto. You can plant them this spring in your yard or neighborhood, and begin anticipating your future fruit harvest!
