Fruit Tree Grafting
Location
Summerhouse Community Farm
About
Tree grafting is an ancient practice that propagates new trees with a known fruit or nut variety. As it produces a replica tree, it can be used to replace an old ‘worn out’ apple or pear tree, or can simply be used to replicate a tasty or favourite fruit variety.
