Mulberry Tree Propagation by Cuttings Workshop, Sat. Dec. 4 at 10

To be presented by Kody Ryan, our resident Biodynamic orchardist

Proceeds to benefit Biointensive for Russia's current program of 
publishing translations on GROW BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-Farming 
(GB) in Russian; see http://biointensiveforrussia.igc.org and 
www.growbiointensive.org for background info and write back for an 
update.

Please join us for an introduction to the art of propagation via 
cuttings!  Kody will demonstrate rooting cuttings of our delicious, 
nutritious mulberry varieties: Oscar, Black Persian/Shah Tut, 
Pakistan, and Riviera. You will then have the opportunity to take 
cuttings from our mulberries and also from our Black Mission fig and 
Spanish olive trees (which are also suitable for rooting by 
cuttings), to take home to root and plant in your own yard or orchard.

There will be time for Kody to answer questions on how he manages the 
pruning of our various fruit trees, as we stroll around the orchard 
of 170+ trees of 58 varieties of 25 fruits.

Time and Date: Saturday, Dec. 4, 10-12
Donation: $15 for the workshop (includes a bag of our pomegranates 
and carob to take home);
Location: Mulberry Haven*, 913 Oso Rd., Ojai 93023 (Directions on request)

In case of showers, the workshop will be held in our carport.

Saturday, Dec. 11 or a date in January.

Note: Two mature Sunshine grapefruit trees are on sale here, as well

*Mulberry Haven is a 100% organic fruit farm established by Gordon 
and Marie Kennedy in 1978. It is known to some as the oldest mulberry 
farm in North America. The mulberries in five varieties number 66 
mature trees, their berries being marketed each year in late spring 
and summer. Included among the 100+ other fruit trees are carob, 
pomegranate, persimmon, avocado, Sunshine grapefruit 
(grapefruit/pomelo/tangelo cross), blood orange, pomelo, sapote, fig, 
apricot, and "Sprite" cherry-plum. Carol Vesecky and Irina Kim (who 
taught GB in Uzbekistan for 12 years) also tend GB gardens in roughly 
1000 sq. ft. of the 2-acre property. For more information, write or
