Learn tree grafting

Do you have an old apple tree that produces delicious apples, but you don’t know the variety of the tree? The only way to propagate  such a tree is by grafting.

The cost is $15 per person, which will include the root stock, scion wood and a handout. The class is limited to 15 people. RSVP to 304-329-1391.
