The Extension release said during the hands-on workshop, participants will receive a tutorial on grafting apples onto dwarf rootstock. They will learn about scion wood, apple varieties and types of rootstock, and then will have the opportunity to graft scion wood to rootstock. There will be several varieties of apples to choose from when making trees. Attendees will take home apple trees that they grafted.

This workshop is $35 to attend. Registration by March 15th is required. To sign up, go to: https://beav.es/iHt or call OSU Extension at 672-4461.
