Hack Your Fruit Tree: The Science & Technique of Grafting

Details

Most fruit tree species don’t grow "true to seed”. Clonal propagation gets around that and that’s why the majority of trees you see in a nursery are grafted.

Learn the principles of grafting technique, why you’d want to use them in your garden, and what the heck those plant cells are up to from a gardener and a molecular biologist.

Megan Lynch is a member of TheLab as well as a member of California Rare Fruit Growers, with ten years experience grafting temperate climate fruit trees.

Dr. Cory Tobin is president of TheLab. He has a Ph. D. in Biology / Plant Genetics from Caltech and a Bachelors in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from California Lutheran University.

$15 per person. Class is approximately 2 hours with a question and answer session following the presentation.
