Grafting with Rikardo Jahnke
Come learn the magic of fruit tree grafting! With this versatile skill you will be able to make your own apple trees at a fraction of the cost of purchasing them, as well as giving you the tools to clone any apple tree you happen to fancy. In the class we will discuss and demonstrate whip-and-tongue and cleft grafting in detail. The basics of bridge grafting, bud grafting, and topworking older trees will be covered. Also the care and protection of young trees, selection of rootstocks, sources of grafting scionwood and general apple orcharding will be discussed. Each participant will have the opportunity to graft three apple trees to take home. (additional rootstock and scionwood will be available for purchase).
