How to create a Fruit Tree Nursery- Aftercare for grafted trees
Event Information
Description
Overview
This is the 4th in a series of 4 workshops covering How to create a fruit tree nursery.
You can attend this workshop even if you have not been at the previous 3 workshops.
This is very much a hands-on, practically based workshop. Over the series of four 1 day workshops in total, a fruit tree nursery comprising around 150 specimens is being established.
The resulting tree nursery will be on common land on Leith Links in Edinburgh, and course participants will therefore be welcome to visit the site as often as they like before, during and after the course.
May 6th- Aftercare
During this session you will:
- Review your grafting success, seeing how well the grafts have taken since the previous grafting workshop.
- Prepare the nursery for the season ahead
- Weed and decide how to use the space between the trees (eg sow a wildflower meadow, lay down a low maintenance mulch, intercrop with annual veg, bring on cuttings of other plants).
Things to bring:
Gloves, boots, waterproof clothes and warm clothes
