SUMMARY:Great Grafting Gathering
DESCRIPTION:March 12 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm\n| $20 please RSVP\n Fru
 it tree pruning season is upon us! As you prune, remember to save scio
 n wood for the Great Graft Gathering! Bring Apple, Pear, Plum scion wo
 od varieties from your neighborhood. Share and graft on root stock to 
 start new trees! We will demonstrate commonly used grafting techniques
  that you can try. Select scion wood and rootstock to graft a tree to 
 take home! Semi Dwarf apple, pear and plum rootstock will be available
  for a nominal fee. Different scion wood varieties will be available f
 rom what people bring to share. so please bring labeled scions from a
 ny trees you may have access to.\nScion wood should be cut from a sect
 ion of last year’s vegetative growth, up to 12″ or so long and abo
 ut a pencil-width diameter. Seal the ends with paraffin or tree-seal, 
 or place in a zip lock bag, with a moist paper towel and refrigerate. 
 The idea is to keep the wood dormant and moist until it is grafted. La
 beling the variety is very important.\nPlease RSVP so we can have eno
 ugh rootstock on hand. If you have a grafting knife or other supplies 
 please bring them along. \nPlanting your grafted rootstock\nPlant your
  grafted tree so that the graft is, if possible, only a couple of inch
 es above the ground. This will help avoid the burr knots that sometime
 s form on the EMLA 26, EMLA 7, and MMlll rootstocks. If however, you n
 eed to graft higher on the rootstock to match the size of scion and ro
 otstock this is also okay. It is often best to plant the grafted roots
 tock in a garden or easy to care for area, spaced about 18 inches apar
 t for one or two years before planting the tree into your orchard. Use
  your fingers or pruners to keep any buds from growing below the graft
  union. Use a piece of scion wood with 2-4 buds to graft. However choo
 se only one vigorous branch to tie up to start your new trunk and prun
 e off any other branches that start to grow.\n\n\n\nFor more informati
