The Garrard County ANR agent has been conducting a fruit tree grafting class every spring for several years. Many of the participants have attended several of the programs. A survey of these repeat participants shows that they have been very successful in grafting and growing the apple trees they received from the program. The survey showed that 85 percent have 6 or more trees surviving in their home orchard. They have used the knowledge gained from the program to care for and harvest fruit from the apple trees. One hundred percent indicated they were very comfortable with grafting their own trees with knowledge gained from the Extension program.
