Anyone growing fruit tree with multiple grafted fruits on it...?
Comments (13)I purchased a three-in-one plum tree from Raintree last year. It has grown nicely and was well labelled. I weighted down the branches with rope and a stone to make the tree more open centered. Looks like it may be budded for fruit next year. I transferred some chip buds ( my first attempt at chip budding) to other plums that I have, so we'll see next spring if that was successful. I have been grafting scions onto existing apple and pear trees for a few years now. My first reaction when these grafts fruited was that flavor must be affected and in decline when a graft.

Comments (6)Yes, macranthos, you could be correct. I'm taking another look at the tree and fruit and will confirm! At least I think I found out that the fruit is edible! Thank you very much!...See MoreGrowing fruit trees from grocery store bought fruit
