Nut Culture and Pecan Grafting Workshop
This is a free event but we would appreciate you pre-registering by emailing or calling the Cullman County Extension office. We will sell the grafted pecans at the end of the class time for $10 each. Doug Chapman is an excellent grafter but he cannot guarantee the graft will be successful but at the very least you will have a nice seedling you can try grafting yourself next year. If the graft is successful you will have a good variety that should perform well in our area.
