Event
Fruit Tree Grafting and Summer Pruning
"A mid-sized tree will produce close to the same weight in fruit whether it has, for example, 200 or 50 apples on it." Learn how to remove excess fruit to produce larger/healthier fruit. Learn proper pruning techniques for summer pruning and find out how to train branches. Finally, get an introduction to the whip graft, cleft graft, bud graft and pleach. This class will be held in a residential 'urban orchard' in south Seattle with pear, apple, plum and Asian pear trees. Greg Giuliani grew up on a Snoqualmie Valley farm with a 1930's orchard. He learned how to graft in order to re-create these heritage fruit varieties, not available at stores. He has been a member and instructor with the Seattle Tree Fruit Society for twelve years.
