Learn all about the historically and culturally important fruit trees of the Sonoran Desert as well as new prospects for the future, with Jesús García, Director of the Kino Heritage Fruit Trees Project and Research Associate at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum.
During the hands-on part of the workshop participants will be given a tree as rootstock to learn and practice grafting. Tools will be provided.
Major funding for this project was provided by the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management’s Urban and Community Forestry Program and USDA Forest Service. These institutions are equal opportunity providers.
