The Bainbridge Island Fruit Club hots its next monthly meeting from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, March 19 at the Bainbridge Grange Hall, 10340 Madison Ave. NE.

This meeting’s agenda will focus on fruit tree grafting. As with the last meeting, folks are encouraged to bring bare-rooted fruit trees  for grafting to making their own multi-variety trees. There will be a large selection of apple, pear, plum and cherry scion wood for grafting. There will also be some smaller rootstocks (2 feet long) for doing one variety grafting of apple and maybe pear. There will probably be a small fee for the rootstock (as it had to be purchased), but all the scion wood is free.

Members are encouraged to bring their extra flowers, bulbs, fruit trees, etc. to the meeting for a plant donation/sale to raise funds for the clubs.
