    I love this. This is so interesting and fun. As a gardener, my first thought was that I have to try this. Has anyone ever heard of this? I have heard about grafting but grafting potatoes and tomatoes???

    That is so interesting. How tall did it get and at what age did it start bearing fruit? Also, the article said that the grafted plant would not produce as much. Did you see a difference in the amount that the trees produced? @Witch Doctor 01 @Bishop

    It was a older Orange tree that was already bearing fruit did not really pay attention to how much it produces but that's how they make a sour orange tree product good fruit by buding good limbs to them

    Grafting to fruit trees is pretty simple. Making your own 5-in-1 tree is something anyone can do provided you have an established tree and access to cuttings from other types. I keep saying I'm going to put some different types of peaches onto our apricot tree but never have gotten around to it.

    This is a more extreme example of grafting onto an existing tree... he says he doesn't like the variety so he just wrecks the host tree. You can just as easily add varieties to a tree without obliterating the original type.

    Some places it's illegal to do due to the different diseases that could be passed to other trees where I work the people that live around the green house can't have citric trees up to 5 miles away.

    That is interesting. Tree disease spreads that far? I know it can hop from tree to tree but usually they are in closer proximity.
