If you’re a fruit nut, then this is going to blow your mind.
Artist and Professor at Syracuse University, Sam Van Aken, has created multi-fruiting trees through using “chip grafting” to create trees that each bear 40 different varieties of stone fruits, or fruits with pits.
Each tree takes around a 3-9 year period to reach its full potential. The process involves slicing a bit of brand with a bud from a tree of one of the stone fruit varieties and inserting it into a slit in a branch on the host tree. He then wraps the wound with tap until it heals and the bud starts to grow into a new brand.
He repeats this process over several years transforming the plant into a super tree that will bear stone fruits of all types all summer long. And what’s more the blossom is just stunning as it varies all over the tree.
