loved your video on The Home medicine Summit. I live in Ireland and have a tiny back garden. I have a hazel tree and another which was here when I moved in but its shading the ugly compost heap. I’d like to know if I could graft anything fruity onto the hazel tree. Actually I have a small run of ground at the side of my house but it is shady in the extreme and gets very little sun. It also only has a bit of ground 2.5ft x 18ft so woulnd’t be able to plant anything fruity there would you think ? Would love to try grafting out in the wild though. Where I live we have a couple of wild damson trees and lots of hazels….any ideas to share ?

Yes – you could graft cultivated plum varieties onto the damsons. Check this out: http://www.homeorchardsociety.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8806
On hazel, you’re probably stuck grafting on other hazels.
