Description: The least expensive way to have quality fruit tree varieties is to use a method called grafting. Sometimes, this is the only way to get a variety that is not commercially available. Learn several grafting techniques so you will be able to graft any type tree. In this class, each student will graft a citrus to take home. CPE credit is available. This same class is offered twice on the same day.

Price listed includes $10 for the grafting root stock and scion materials and $22 for a cleft grafting and budding knife. You need to sign up at least 14 days before the class.
