Fruit Tree Grafting Workshop with John Valenzuela, owner of Cornucopia Food Forest Gardens
Learn the art and science of fruit tree grafting! If you attended the California Rare Fruit Grower's Scion exchange earlier this year, then you know the value of collecting scions for spring grafting to expand the varieties of fruit available in your backyard orchard. Now it the time! Our mild winter weather means that many trees have awakened early, and are ready to graft.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the "hows" and "whys" of fruit tree grafting. After learning some basic theory about tree culture, techniques and tools, we will head out to the Pollinate orchard and learn to graft onto an established fruit tree. We will also have premium bareroot fruit trees for sale onto which you can graft your collected scions or buds. Students will leave the workshop with the knowledge and confidence to make it work, and will receive 33% off our premium bare root trees and 10% off grafting tools and supplies.
Instructor Bio: John Valenzuela is a horticulturist, consultant, and educator specializing in fruit trees and food forests, working throughout the Bay Area. He is past chairperson for the Golden Gate Chapter of the California Rare Fruit Growers, and the Owner of Cornucopia Food Forest Gardens, an educational fruit tree care consultancy.
