Learn how to grow fruit trees and take a piece of Fred C. Fischer Library history home with you! Dawn Hughes, certified arborist and owner of Urban Arbor Care, will lead participants through two different methods of tree propagation using the library’s own beloved crab apple. 

A Clone is Born I

In this first session, participants will take cuttings from the mother tree and learn how to “root” the cuttings to preserve the tree’s identical genetics. Attendees may also collect crab apples to sow at home.

This program series is suitable for all ages, but children must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required for each session. 

A Clone is Born II: November 23, 10 am

Children of the Mother Tree: Spring 2020
