    Description
    Hands-on grafting techniques of the Backyard Orchard system pioneered by the Dave Wilson Nursery which facilitates the growth of many varieties of fruit in a limited space: Appropriate rootstocks to use, grafting onto existing trees and custom grafting onto rootstocks, summer and winter pruning, pests and diseases, and varieties suitable for the Bay Area climate. Each student can expect to bring home a grafted apple, plum, or pear tree on dwarf rootstock.
