Future Plans

With this study it could be used for testing many more ways of grafting or using a different fruit. Also being tested under different conditions to see if one method will do better than the other. Another way you could test is to give more time to the plants to see if whip and tongue will take if they're given longer time. There can be a mixture of things that can make them make them grow faster or even grow taller.

Acknowledgments

I first would like to thank Dr. Buddhi Gyawali for making this program come alive. I have learned about jobs that I never even knew existed. Without this program I would probably still be focused on something that was ridiculous for me to actually be able to reach. If you’re not proud of anything be proud that you changed this young fellows’ eyes into seeing that there are jobs out there and that I can achieve. Also I would like to thank Dr. Pomper for being a very helpful mentor along with Sheri Crabtree and most of all Jeremy Lowe you guys have taught me a lot about grafting Pawpaw and the understanding of it. Without you this project couldn’t have been possible and for that I’m forever thankful. You guys have inspired me to achieve my best. I know that any student that comes in to work with all of you will be in great hands. I would also like to thank Rebecca and Bryan for all of the help with the project.
