Grafting is connecting two pieces of live plant tissue in a way that allows them to unite and grow as one plant. There are many different grafting methods. On woody plants, grafting involves carefully matching up the lateral meristems of two different plants, and securing the two pieces so they eventually grow together.

Most apple trees are actually a combination of two trees. The rootstock might be particularly resistant to soil-borne disease or insects. The scion is usually chosen for its fruit quality. Rose bushes are often grafted onto rootstocks. Join the party! We will send Arbor Week off by planting, weeding, and mulching the thousands of native plants our volunteers have planted along the Bear River Habitat Trail in Yuba County since January Register to attend our final California Arbor Week celebration.

The City of Rancho Cordova and the Sacramento Tree Foundation began the process of transforming Countryside Park with 26 beautiful new shade trees in Fall and will be continuing this joint effort to beautify the neighborhood this March.

New shade trees will be planted at Abraham Lincoln Elementary and individual homes throughout the community. Join us at this community volunteer day focused on planting and maintaining trees in North Sacramento District 2 to ensure that native trees and plant species remain an integral part of the urban forest in Del Paso Heights.

Our goal is to plant at least 25 trees at Robertson Park, maintain at least 25 trees at Nuevo Park, and establish a native plant garden near the children's playground. Check it out!

I always plant a tree on birthdays for a gift thru Arbor Foundation and also give them for wedding gifts.

Am trying to grow Cedar and Tx Live Oak and Ark Acorn now, not native here except for Cedar but grow up much higher than here so want to see how that goes, hope it works!

I use 'root growth' no chemicals and 'Super Thrive' to help them, never ever use miracle grow, no way! I have several varieties of oak, madrone, cedar as well as one monkey puzzle and this year just this morning I planted a giant sequoia redwood and a fraiser fir. I plan to plant two more trees today, one blue spruce and one ponderosa pine. Happy Arbor day everyone! Sadly the biggest shade tree in my yard fell during a wind storm. I had only moved in 2 months ago and looking forward to seeing the leaves and enjoy the shade it would provide.

The tree was well over 30 years old. Another tree in my yard lost a very large limb. It was a horrible wind storm. I hope to plant a new tree but have not decided what kind yet. I remember when I was a little girl I got a White pine tree for Arbor Day and I planted it in my moms back yard and it still sits their bigger as ever.

They included a free red maple and two forsythias! I got those planted on the west side of my 1 acre lot to provide future shade for my home here on the nearly treeless southern plain of west Texas. Additionally, I put in a drip system to keep them all watered.

I look forward to sitting in the shade of these fast growing trees in a few years! I don't remember if we planted a tree on the school grounds or if we just went to a tree and talked about how important trees are to the world. I can see, in my mind's eye, my class standing at the front of the school, forming an arc around a tree.

That's all I remember this was in North Hollywood, California around or In addition to bushes and flowers, I have planted a purple plum snitched from the forest , two dogwoods one died , a black walnut my neighbor has one so they cross-pollinate , a maple, an oak which grows sooooooo slowly , a choke cherry and a fir tree.

Have another purple plum in the forest just waiting for my shovel! When my now 37 year old daughter was just a little thing, she came home from school on Arbor Day with a very tiny tree but and said to my husband, "Daddy, can we plant this tree in the yard?

The trouble is, it is not the best tree for the yard. The limbs are brittle and the needles turn brown and drop off. So, I love the idea but those giving out trees and the fact she planted it but I wish we had known and not planted that one We honor the spirit of J.
