Not really sure about grafting your own trees? Of course, we have trees at our nursery already grafted and ready for you to plant. But, if you want to try your hand at grafting, check out this article at NC State Extension for a good overview of the process. https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/grafting-and-budding-nursery-crop-plants.
