Heritage Fruits Society Grafting Day August 2011
The Society displays scion wood (cuttings from Heritage Fruit Trees) for people to buy. Customers can take the wood home to graft it themselves or buy some rootstock (a parent tree with roots) for Society members Ian Batchelor and Peter Wills Cooke to graft on the spot. Either way, you end up with a Heritage Fruit Tree of your choice - plus some tips on grafting.
