Presenter: Antoine GaesslerTopic: BEST PRACTICES GRAFTING PROCEDURESSlidesDear fellow growers! We are fortunate to have several great reasons to meet at Prusch Park Meeting Hall. The room opens for setup at 11:30. As I mentioned in previous emails, this one is a smaller, DIY chapter event, so we'll be sharing non-citrus greenwood--avocados, cherimoyas, sapotes, feijoas, loquats, etc. Here's our planned schedule, of course subject to change if it becomes necessary:11:30--Doors open, setup starts11:45 or so--Potluck opens12:30--People start collecting their scions (2 max each person until everyone's had a chance to collect. (After Antoine's talk, we can ask the bringers of scions if they are OK with letting people take more from whatever is left over. Unlike our hardwood exchange, these scions are not sent on to other chapters.)1::15--Formal part of program starts. Lisa makes announcements, others with announcements speak briefly, and then introduces Antione's talk, which is about a very precise-but-easy-to-learn grafting technique that uses a tool like this:https://www.amazon.com/ZALALOVA-Grafting-Pruning-Cutting-Scissors/dp/B07Q56MZQ83:00 Cleanup room to be out by 3:30.
