Apple, Pear and Plum Tree Grafting Workshop

Learn how to graft apples, pears and plums with us!

This will be a hands-on session with Stephen Watts from Ediculture where you will learn how to graft your own tree and how to look after it.

If you’re interested in learning the art of fruit tree grafting, in identifying your rootstock from your scion, your M26 from your St Julian A and having a go at doing it yourself, then look no further.

We will supply rootstocks (which determines size of tree) and scion material (which determines variety of fruit).

You will be taught how to cut and join the two together.

What to bring:
(optional) Graftwood: If you’ve always wanted to propagate a special apple, plum or cherry tree then nows your chance. If you have a fruit tree (mainly apple, pear, plum) that you would like to graft, take cuttings of fresh clean growth from last year as soon as possible and store them in a well-sealed bag in a fridge. Aim for wood about the thickness of a pencil if possible.

Bring graftwood to a session and make some baby trees with it.

You may want to bring a packed lunch, or something to share.
