Multibudded trees are so amazing. What configurations of fruit have YOU seen on a tree? ITEMS I USE AND RECOMMEND (Affiliate Items ALL IN ONE PLACE): www.amazon.com/shop/thebusygardener
Grafting is so cool. I may start an apple tree. When it's bigger I'll go to my buddy's farm when they prune and grab some cuttings from the different varieties. Have three or four different apples on one tree I think as a pollinator that the one tree will pollinate the other blossoms. I just have to be sure to have compatible apples to cross pollinate. Maybe do a pit tree, also. A great way to fit multiple fruits in a small yard.
Multibudding is TOTALLY an option, especially for people who truly only have room for a single tree. If you've got a little more space, I strongly advocate for separate trees planted close (2-3 feet from trunk to trunk, because you will get more fruit, while only giving up a little bit of additional space.
I have a 5-n-1 apple tree this will be it's third year, no fruit yet. I also have a fruit cocktail tree with 5 different fruits. This one is about 6 years old and no fruit yet. I was surprised last year when I found this one, still alive and growing. I thought it had died, and where it was planted, became over grown. I was just opening this area up again when I found it. I am still hoping for fruit on it. I have been intrigued by these types of trees since I first saw them in the 90s. I hope to add a 5-n-1 cherry and pear tree.
Thank you for this awesome video! New subbie here! 🙋🏽♀️ How long did you have your tree before it started to produce fruit and how many months was it when you purchased it? Thanks in advance 😊
Thanks for subscribing! The emergence of fruit depends so heavily on each specific tree! In general, I've found that my citrus and stone fruit produce fruit within the first couple years. Apple, a year or two longer. Most of these trees are technically 1 year old after they were grafted, so think trees in a 5gallon pot
do you think 3 budded full-grown fruit-bearing tree can be achieved to fit in in space of 4feet X 4 feet area and hight 4 feet or less? I am planning to get bare-rooted 3 budded 5 trees and place in a row of raised beds of 5. allocating 4x4 spacing for each tree. not sure if this is a crazy idea or it can be achieved.
I think it can be achieved! You will need to keep up on pruning. That's a really small space (especially height) per tree, but it's doable. My front yard orchard is essentially using that spacing
also since peaches take 6 years to fruit can you bypass that by cloning a fruiting pit tree and fusing a young peach tree to it or will you still have to wait the 6 years? if you clone a mature peach tree will it start life old enough to fruit? i am so interested in this cause i am planting a peach tree. i put the pit in the ground already but next year i will also plant a clone so i have one that will fruit faster (i don't want to kill a living tree if it manages to germinate and sprout but i do want to have peaches sooner than 6 years lol) please respond either to my email or here preferable to my email. i am super interested in this methodology
If you graft wood onto a rootstock grown from pit, you will likely see fruit more quickly than waiting for the planted pit to fruit. That being said, the wood that emerges from the pit may not end up being entirely desirable and might have some issues. You won't know, versus trees that have been grafted to known rootstocks.
Not sure what you mean here, Johan. Prunus can be grafted onto other prunus, citrus can be grafted onto other citrus, and pome can be grafted onto other pome
They are? The concept is multi-budded, which is either multiple types of the same fruit, or multiple fruit in the same scientific family (pome, prunus, etc)

About 2 years ago on Gardeners World, they showed an apple tree with 150 different apples growing on it. It was a old tree, very interesting.

I did Graft on Plum tree 10 different fruit When they flowering look very nice
Congrats! I may consider doing that with my "peacotum" which isn't fruiting. Grafting it into a tree of 100 fruit!

how tall did your 4 in 1 fruit get ?
Wow amazing video
Nice work I love trees 🌲 with heaps of other things on it a . Man called .Sam van Aken does a tree called 40 in one 🌸 stone tree fruit 🤟
That'll be a goal for me some day!

@The Busy Gardener Wow! Ok perfect! Thank you!
Great info!!! Thanks! March 10, 2021

what is tha mother tree?
I'm not sure what the original rootstock was. I purchased the tree already grafted
Which tree are u using as basement for multi grafting
This came already grafted into a compatible rootstock. It didn't indicate that rootstock when I bought it
also since peaches take 6 years to fruit can you bypass that by cloning a fruiting pit tree and fusing a young peach tree to it or will you still have to wait the 6 years? if you clone a mature peach tree will it start life old enough to fruit? i am so interested in this cause i am planting a peach tree. i put the pit in the ground already but next year i will also plant a clone so i have one that will fruit faster (i don't want to kill a living tree if it manages to germinate and sprout but i do want to have peaches sooner than 6 years lol) please respond either to my email or here preferable to my email. i am super interested in this methodology

Hmmm, so I possibly can't graft apples to oranges...
Nope, unfortunately. Only fruit in the same scientific family (citrus, prunus, pome, etc)
Aside from telling us there are 4 types pear, no more info. Why?
The point of the vid was to show up close what a multi-grafted tree is like. What do you want to know?
each kind after its kind. NOT! nectarine and plum on same tree!! citrus not prunus... !!!
Not sure what you mean here, Johan. Prunus can be grafted onto other prunus, citrus can be grafted onto other citrus, and pome can be grafted onto other pome
they are the same..........not four types

How sad. It looks like your fruit has gone pear shaped.
lol
