Did not know this was possible. I knew you could graft, but not like this :o
Bellyache tree!
Impressive!
:)
If this tree could only reproduce itself. One for every household, mmmm.
I am happy to learn that you can buy5-6 foot trees that have already been grafted. Haven't found any for sale that have 40 varieties of fruit. But you can get a few different ones. Harder for me since I have to be carful about my zone. But I really like this idea. Having just a few trees to get so much different fruit is much easier to care for and clean up the yard.
Not sure about the trees resilience to disease and insects though.
I'm wondering why the image is just an "artist rendering". Is it so hard to get photos of the actual tree?...

I was curious about that too Oshyan. I did not come across a photo when I was looking for info on the general idea of it.
HAs this topic been posted here before? I would swear I have seen that image in the OP link before.
Maybe it's just a hoax, though it should be possible.
NO, I know for a fact you can by trees like this, just not seen any with more than 5 fruits. But those trees are all young. to graft 40 would require an older stronger bigger tree.
The one in the OP made national news. Just no photos of it. I guess it took years to do. But then again that is why I am curious about no photos. It should be all over the place ???

ok here. At least some photos anyway. "I guess tree of 40 fruits" is an art movement more than a single tree.
