Grafting Dwarf Conifers
Join horticulturist Kevin Wilcox as he teaches you how to successfully graft dwarf conifers. Our program starts with a short slide presentation, followed by participants preparing, cutting and wrapping the grafted conifer. Different conifer cultivars will be provided for people to graft, with selections from Oriental, Serbian, Norway and White spruces.
Attendees are welcome to bring selections of their own to try grafting (bring up to two year’s growth, not an entire large branch). Please bring a pair of hand pruners.
At this point, only spruce understock is available, and if others become available, scions for grafting will be provided. Depending on how many people join us, we will graft at least one plant each, with more seedlings for people to take and try at home.
Limit 20 people. Hurry! Spaces will fill up quickly!
