Skilled grafters will be available and happy to graft your newly aquired (or bought from home) apple scions for a small fee. $5 for the graft and $10 for the rootstock unless supplied by you. Apples only and 1 scion per rootstock. These do not come with guarantees, as much of the success hinges on aftercare (planting it without dislodging the graft, watering it, etc) But in our experience they are very very likely to succeed with basic care.
𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲
Apple trees will be available for sale (some only $5! While stocks last)
There will also be some fun and unusual fruiting plants for sale for the enthusiasts and collectors, and to stimulate Tree Crop related discussions!
