Multi-Variety or Grafted Fruit Trees
Comments (3)Heyellen, Multi-grafted trees often seem to be a disappointment to those who buy nursery-grown specimens, as individual limbs may decline due to domination by other, more rapidly-growing portions of the plant. If you know how to graft (and bud), you can correct these problems as needed, by re-grafting bits of weakly-growing cultivars onto strongly growing limbs. So check out the sources Joe mentioned to buy some plants ... but then go through his extensive on-line grafting/budding tutorial material so you will be able to best care for whatever trees you may buy....See MoreSource for more mature fruiting apple, peach, nectarine trees
Comments (2)If your ordering online your better to stay with the small seedlings. We container grow all our stock but the cost to ship a mature fruit bearing tree is ridiculous, not to mention the shock the tree would go through. Everything we grow are adapted to lower desert areas and all the 15 gallon and boxed stock is only sold as a "Local Pick Up" Your best bet to to find a local growers that has access to what you want Here is a link that might be useful: RSI Growers...See MoreHow long will a grafted red haven peach tree live and bare fruit?
Comments (5)Depends on the rootstock. how well it's cared for and how "lucky" it is with the typical "life-ending" diseases and natural damage of peach trees, or trees in general. Also it depends on what your view of "giving fruit" really means. It could produce fruit for decades. but after time it would likely diminish in production and quality. Peaches are one of the shorter lived trees. As with anything though there are always a few "lucky" survivors. Too, a peach tree takes a lot of water, weeding, and insect and disease control. Another venerable peach tree once grew in Lampasas County. In the early 1930s, a tree belonging to L.W. McCrea measured six feet in circumference. At the time (1934) it was considered one of the oldest peach trees in Texas. McCrea said his family planted the tree in the late 1860s or early 1870s. Obviously this is an unusual situation. I wouldn't expect your Redhaven will be alive and well in 75 years. This tree was probably seed planted and I would expect (as is true of most fruit trees) that a seedling tree would live much longer than it's grafted counterpart if it were fortunate enough to have the genetics for it....See MoreMulti Grafted Fruit Tree
Comments (2)Hi Pepino, thank you for answering my query. My fruit tree is under cover but it still gets the cold weather we are experiencing in Melbourne. It gets some morning sun ( when we get it). My covered area is 70sq meters with an opening of 10meters, so as you see there is a lot of room for good ventilation and no additional heat. I have no idea why it broke dormancy. Two weeks ago I also picked a beautifull bunch of roses as I was pruning, now that too is rather unusual.I am also picking the odd cherry tomatoe from a plant that is growing with the lavender!!!...See MoreSara_in_philly
