The Community Seed Library at Kailua-Kona Public Library invites you to a free tree grafting program. University of Hawai’i Agent, Ty McDonald, will discuss and demonstrate ways to add cultivars to rootstock by grafting. The technique involves using scion wood of a related but different cultivar to create a new tree using healthy rootstock. Grafting requires knowledge as well as practice. Ty will offer hands on assistance to those who would like to try the technique.

Program schedule is subject to change. Contact the library 15 days in advance to request a sign language interpreter or if special accommodations are needed.
