Adams County Planting Partnership to hold live-stake demonstration March 4


The Adams County Planting Partnership will host a live-stake workshop at the Adams County Agricultural and Natural Resources Center, 670 Old Harrisburg Rd., Gettysburg, on Saturday, March 4,
from 10-11:30 a.m.


Live staking involves harvesting a dormant cutting from a donor tree and simply inserting it into the ground, where it will root and develop into another tree. It’s a useful technique for planting new trees with minimal effort. At the ACPP event, participants will learn how to select, harvest, and plant a dormant cutting and will receive several cuttings to plant at home. The event is free, but registration is required.
