Wairarapa: Sep 1st 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Would you like to learn how to tailor-make your own apple trees and then go home with new trees to plant?
Grafting is surprisingly simple, particularly with apple trees. The rootstock you use decides the size of the tree. Dwarfing, semi-dwarf, semi-standard and standard are the size benchmarks for the different rootstock sizes, with the standard being the largest and dwarfing being the smallest.

The following two rootstock types are available for you to order: MM 26 (dwarfing) and MM 793 (standard) at a cost of approx. $ 6.00 each. Please note that your order (max. 2 rootstocks) needs to be in by Thursday August 15th at the latest.
A range of eating, cooking and also some cider apple scions (e.g. Belle de Boskoop, Monty's Surprise, Golden Russett and Irish Peace) will be available to graft with.

Be sure to bring the following with you to the workshop:
a) sharp knife (or grafting tool)

b) sharp secateurs

c) large container or pots with enough wet sand or soil to keep your grafted apple treelets moist until you can plant them out.
