Learn all about grafting in this workshop and take away your own grafted plant!

This year we will be covering both apple and pear grafting, and attendees will get to choose which one they graft to take home.

We’re doing two events this year due to the popularity: 11/09 and 24/09. See our facebook page for the link to other event.

- Hear a presentation on the basics of grafting fruit trees

- Learn all the tips and tricks for a successful graft

- Practice the cuts using the right tools and the correct technique

- Graft your own plant and take it home!

We will provide a selection of apple and pear varieties to choose from (as scionwood for you to graft), but please feel free to bring your own. It could be a piece of your favourite apple tree, an old heritage tree or something sentimental.

Extra rootstocks will be available for $15 each, subject to availability

This is a public event by the Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Tree Crops Association.
