We’ve been super busy- that’s why we’ve been a bit quieter than usual- pruning neglected trees across Oxford to invest in the future of our local fruit. Pruning cleverly also often means cutting scion wood- 1 year growth that is used for GRAFTING- the practise employed far and wide for propagating apple cultivar- i.e. to make baby apple trees that bear the same fruit as their parents…
If you’re interested in learning how to graft- we’ll be running a workshop – on 9th at Hogacre Common Eco Park- and on 10th we’ll have a stall as part of Climate Week at the http://www.earthingfaith.org/2013/02/spirit-of-the-environment-conference-living-sustainably-with-faith-in-our-communities/“to raise awareness about climate change and sustainable living, and explore new ways forward.”
11:00am – 4:30pm
Venues: Turl Street Kitchen and Inner Space “Shop” on Broad St, Oxford City
So you can come chat to us and tell us about your trees and also about grafting trees, pruning, propagating, and what to do with excess, gluts and unwanted fruits 🙂
