The perfect event to share cuttings of (labeled) fruit trees, plant, and seeds.

The main attraction is “making” a custom fruit tree.

When you arrive, there are many little white buckets with sticks in them. Each has a label with a description. Choose the variety you want, grab a stick of it, and label it with the blue tape and marker lying around. Then take that to the rootstock station and select the type of tree you want and purchase the appropriate rootstock for your planting site (3 to 5 dollars sliding scale). Now bring this material to the Grafting station where an expert will graft the scion onto the rootstock for you. Of course you can take scion home and graft it onto an existing tree you have.

Ruby from Faerie Road Farm will teach classes. 1pm Intro to Grafting, an 2pm Dormant season fruit tree pruning.
