Event Description

An apple pip won't grow into the same variety of tree: you have to graft a bit of the tree to a rooted stump (rootstock). Learn this simple skill which applies to many other fruits.

You can take a tree away or have it adopted by the Tree Nursery. Plants & tools provided but you're welcome to bring a cutting from your own apple tree (contact us for advice on cutting the 'scion').

Booking: 15 places - please email grafting2013@hmug.org.uk to book; advance payment secures your place

Charge: £20 to cover materials & refreshments

Clothes: dress for a bit of mess, boots not needed

Food: tea etc provided, please bring lunch to share
