- Sam Van Aken, an artist and professor at Syracuse University, uses "chip grafting" to create trees that each bear 40 different varieties of stone fruits, or fruits with pits. The grafting process involves slicing a bit of a branch with a bud from a tree of one of the varieties and inserting it into a slit in a branch on the "working tree," then wrapping the wound with tape until it heals and the bud starts to grow into a new branch. Over several years he adds slices of branches from other varieties to the working tree. In the spring the "Tree of 40 Fruit" has blossoms in many hues of pink and purple, and in the summer it begins to bear the fruits in sequence-Van Aken says it's both a work of art and a time line of the varieties' blossoming and fruiting. He's created more than a dozen of the trees that have been planted at sites such as museums around the U.S., which he sees as a way to spread diversity on a small scale.

I successfully grafted a purple hibiscus onto a red tree so now it blooms both purple and red. This spring I will add yellow and orange.
Brad Mondel wow ..
Brad Mondel that would be a thing of beauty.
Brad Mondel ,can you show me ur colorful tree
The red tree meaning the red blooming hibiscus tree form. I will show everyone in a video if you would like.
Brad Mondel ,thank you for replying and I would love to see it 😊
This video was published 3 years ago. I think we're due for an update! 🤩
The tree grew legs eventually and made it all the way to Buffalo where it died of sheer boredom
@@lamb4life327 😂😂😂💁🤣
I think the tree fell in love and had babies
The tree has now been demolished due to a trump tower construction

This is way freakin' cool.
Ok.

Hope to see a teardown video of the tree....

I would love to see a 365 day time lapse of this tree . I feel like it has the potential to be the most watched video on CZcams 🎉
🤨😂💀
Ide like a hand shandy from Britney Spears, but I ain't Gunna get it....
I admit it would be quite amazing to witness. All those flowers, colors and different fruits blossoming at different periods of the year... This would be incredible to watch, again.
He impresses me. He knew what he wanted to do and he stuck with it, even others thought it was absurd. Now there's a tree that has 40 different fruits that I'm dying to see.
no. there is no such tree, no photos. only theory and speculation.
@@johanconradie2120 Wth are you talking about?
@@johanconradie2120 u drunk buddy?
@Quetzalcoatl I’m honestly not sure if we’re watching the same video. He said it’s a tree made up of “different types of stone fruit, including peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, cherries and almonds.” He said that he’s also using different varieties of the stone fruits, some of them are very rare. If he uses different varieties of each of these fruits he’s more than capable of getting 40 different varieties of each of the stone fruits.
He grafted the branches on a number of different trees and makes a map of each of them. You can’t just have one tree alone. What if it dies?
@Quetzalcoatl well, Prunus cerasifera and Prunus mahaleb are the most typical "working trees" for stone fruits. I guess he used the first one, though.
Friend: what kind of fruit tree is that?
Me: fruit cocktail.

When I was a kid I was gifted an apple tree that produced 5 different types of apples. It was awesome!

Neighbor: So, what kind of fruit do you grow?
Sam van Aken: *Yes*
My thoughts exactly 😂

Yes what??? That is the stupidest comment!! Are you proud of yourself?? You managed to make the dumbest comment ! And not only that...but you're not even original... tell me... do you think you're cool because you can copy off other people? STFU
Other trees: that tree is such a teacher's pet.
The tree: mr grafter, I got you an apple and 39 other fruits.
Such an underrated comment 😂
It grows different fruit because someone got the DNA from those other fruit trees and mixed it with a tree stump that is still alive they do that buy cutting a small piece of one plant and putting it on a living tree stump the tree nurseries around the world still use do this
Andres Ibarra The DNA doesn't mix at all. It's just that the vascular systems are similar enough between species and varieties that they can meld together during the grafting process
Can you help me?
I just wanted to learn, teach me how to grafting pls..
This tree should be named *Fruitkenstein* because this is exactly what it is.
Thats a good name for the tree.

His vision for the trees are more of an art form than a scientific endevour very nice of him to achieve that
GuardTower I want a tree like that ..
That's pretty well a waste of time...in several years no tree look like the diagram.
So... the trees grow as natural bouquets of blossoms, and then they turn into a natural fruit salad.
That has to be the coolest thing I've heard in a long time.
High level patience, effort, care and overall talent. 🌚
I don't think talent has anything to do with it. Its more about passion and dedication
Using "chip grafting," this artist and professor created trees that bear 40 different varieties of fruits-blossoming into hues of pink and purple. Witness the growth of these magnificient plants.
incredible pero sieto ! el profecional de los injertos ; bien por esa .
This is most amazing young man! I'm so impressed by this...I hope you keep an update on this Syracuse project. National Geographic.....he's a very creative and meticulous of his passion...thank you!
Good job ! Very interesting but I prefer one by one.
That is cool especially if you have very little space for growing trees.
Yes , love the story.
My great uncle from Italy used to do this . I watched him and couldn’t believe a tree could grow two different fruits. This is amazing
Yes in Italy it's quite a common practice
There is a place in Fresno, California called The Underground gardens. Place still open. The gentleman was from Italy he grafted 3 different fruits onto an orange tree Underground with the tree exposed to sunlight. Planted early 1900's. Still living today. Amazing and fun to graft.
@Mygraciously that tree originally had 7 different fruits! Some of the grafted branches had to be cut out to save the tree. Also, those underground trees are nearly 100 years old!
When you’re financially stable, you’ll be surprised just how creative you are.

Imagine if suddenly a branch produces an entirely new fruit
Not unlikely some of the fruits it’s producing now have subtle differences. If he were looking for them he could isolate them.
Some silicone people would come after you
Careful for some doctor who's actually the spirit manifestation of a certain silicon based organism might come after you
Grafting doesn't change the genetics of the plants.
Grafting is like getting a donated organ.
Yeah. What if two of them cross-breed making a whole new hybrid fruit? That would be so cool.
Wow, what a patient man. To spend years on such a thing is amazing.
The quickest way to learn patience is to start a garden.
*That's something I wouldn't have imagined possible unless this video was actually filmed!* 🤯🤯🤯
Been more than 12 years for graft tree to exist for my knowledge. My grand use to graft mango tree with another type of mango tree.
Never heard of grafting before?
Welcome to the garden. Let's keep fighting for land tho
Right.
This is nonsense. Influence to make you not think, to make ur point of view of life smaller, this is ignorant. No offense
Sounds like a brilliant idea, specially for people who only have a small garden and want their own fruits. Traditionally you just have one tree and then whenever these fruits are ripe, you just have soooooo many of this type of fruit that you don't know what to do with it. But if each branch can bear a different type of fruits you don't have fruit spaced out over more time and much more variety for the same space. Maybe 40 is too much for a normal use, but 3 - 4 would sound great. Apples, cherries, plums and peaches or something like that. Really useful.
You should think of making this into a business.
Art that can feed the people. Every park should have one or more of these. Ending hunger comes by planting things that feed people in public
Totally in agreement with you. Only this morning, that sentiment crossed my mind. Those who are on the streets need something like this.
With that tree in our backyard i could make fruitsalad...😂

Reina Ibeas This is an ancient technique.
My dad used to do that. We used to have a tree that gave us, peaches, two varieties of plums and apricots. Had a fig tree with five varieties of figs growing on it. One particular variety only showed up in the winter so we had figs all year round. Village folk and neighbours used to scratch their heads in puzzlement.
I think we are overlooking a huge potential here
Clever guy! Yes, I can imagain they thought it was a bit wierd!
Liar
@@machiavellianos , jealousy won't bring you the truth but trying it out yourself will.
May I ask where are you from
Planning the aesthetics of 40 separate blooms on one small tree is indeed an art! This reminds me of the lemon/orange/lime tree that my grandfather had created in his back yard 40 years ago. Thank you for the inspiration, I am looking forward to getting 'artistic' with horticulture haha! :)
Wonderful and fun! Reminds me of the biblical description if the 'heavenly Jerusalem' where the trees bear a different fruit for each month of the year.
What a special tree
Revelation 22:2 KJV
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Seems like the perfect tree for a backyard... a family can get a large variety of fruits off of one tree.
nightmare to prune. impractical for a typical family.
David Diez Yes, The problem for commercial use is the difference in flowering. That's what would make it great for families.
Large variety overall yet small quantity of each kind, guess it won't be a problem for just one family
David Diez
Will you fix-up to a cloning Frankenstein's quater of your person in your house with your family as well?
That's a question I have make my own-self !
That'll be like a seasonal Halloween year round, I guess !
tohopes stone fruits don't need pruning. You can prune them in shape but there is no need for it
Me: hey look at this apple tree!
*bites into an apricot*
Me: what is this sorcery ?
😂😂😂
Lol... I can do sorceries too... 😂
I think he has to graft species that are genetically similar, in this case stone or pit fruit like apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, all of which have a single pit inside them. An apple has multiple seeds in its core so a completely different arrangement and thus too genetically different from a tree that grows fruits with pits. The graft would be rejected due to a too-vast genetic difference between an apricot and an apple. I think when it comes to citrus like lemons and oranges you can graft those together but you couldn't graft them onto a stone fruit tree without rejection. An apple seems genetically similar to a pear for example where the only difference seems to be the taste and the fruit shape, but look at the similarity of the seeds and the stalks and the fruit material between a pear and an apple. It's kind of surprising it works so well with trees considering when it comes to animals, a transplanted organ from another person is rejected by the immune system unless it's from a relative.

I remember learning about this when i was a kid in the 70's. Never saw it being done. This is interesting and beautiful.

Again read Isaiah. There is a tree that grows 250 fruits naturally without so science of thieves stealing the glory from the CREATOR
5 years ago today, 19/02/2021, we need an update with those trees
Sad news, all of tree now dead
Farhan ❶ How do you know that the tree is dead ?
Your just joking right !!
@@olgagullotti3963 This isn't true. People have been grafting trees and other plants for over 2,000 years. This isn't that strange a process. While I can't update you on these specific trees, I can tell you there are plenty of trees just like this that are over 100 years old. Grapes are grafted this same way.
So chery can be grafted on plum and vice versa?
@@organicgardener1112 Yes they can. Fruit trees in the same family can be grafted on to each other. So Cherries, plums, apricots, peaches, and nectarines can all be on the same tree. But you couldn't put citrus on that same tree since it isn't in the same family. However, you COULD have lemons, oranges, grapefruit, and limes all on one tree. :)
My grandfather used to graft trees like that. Hybrid fruits tend to have mixed flavour like say plums and peaches when grafted the plums can have slight smell of peaches. I grew up surrounded by orchard, figues and citrus trees. What a life.
Beautiful, fantastic and absolutely amazing. I would love to see this tree blossom and then with fruit... People can be awesome.
My cousin thought of this when we were younger and I thought he was absolutely insane. 😂
I tought about it some days or weeks ago. ...
Some of us did that with plastic fruits toys on real tree...

He is right. It is an artform......and you get fruit to eat, on top of that.
There’s a tree in revelations that has 12 fruits and one is ripe each month. It’s the trippiest thing until you realize it’s real.
ancient germanic tree where 1000 of year old ,they called those place ''grove'' ..the ancestor of churches and temples,..the bible is talking about a garden which contain such tree,, btw the roman exterminated the remaining tree in their war against the barbarians...
The Bible says ain't nothing new about of the Sun it's amazing to see a tree in this day and time that resembles the tree from revelation
Yes…..It is in the book of Revelations 22:2 ….It is the Tree of Life….
I'm also an artist & I have a glut of seeds, what would you want?
I started a buisness so I could fund sculpting in plants
I was thinking about the different varieties
I grew up with Multch under my feet
So from what I know they need to be in the same family
Like apples with other things in the apple/rose family
Or guava & other in the eucalyptus family
Or pine or others in the line family
Having the variety of nutrents, the bounty of seeds & new limbs a densely grafted tree such as this could be a legacy that maintains life, making more artistically grafted sources of food, year round

Don't go crazy! It's a common technique we use in Greece (and many more Mediterranean countries) with citrus family trees and Mulberry trees. Mulberry trees we usually graft them to stop making fruit as in most cases use the trees for the shade it provides (it's full foliage peaks mid-summer).

May you share please Mam/Miss....? I wonder if you just slit a branch and heal it with a nother type of working-tree with just a tape? Or you did also apply any specific hormone-liquids on the wound? Or any boasting elements? I'm very curious about this of your doable knowledge....🙏 The reason is because, fundamentally, this horticulture is a part of all us as humanity to grow harmoniously with nature and the Earth....🙏
I'm wondering if the "flavor" from one fruit seeps into the "flavor" of another.
I'm curious to know what the Almond tasted like.
I always thought grafting started at the base never within the branch itself.
I guess you're never too old to learn something new.
Enjoyed the video thank you so much.
I thought the same, the flavor of everything in there needs to come out different from the original
From my experience with pears and vines it doesn't change flavour
Nature is always fascinating
I worked with grafting trees in Bakersfield, CA and it's fun to make hybrid trees. Peach/Plum hybrids were my trees I was working with. The pay is great too, this type work people should try in their backyard, is unique and the payoff (fruit) is awesome too.
Joe Biden's Shotgun I think, and you and everyone knows that food manufactures, farmers, will do what ever the cost to prevent the average person from owning one of these trees.
jason4275 Well that's true but I own two trees that I planted myself in my backyard and also my brother has one that I made also.
Monika Bonds Jason's comment is not accurate. There is no law against grafting trees. Sure there is GMO patented seeds out here but for home usage there is no law against it.
Joe Biden's Shotgun my question is will this type of tree later bear saplings of the same type of tree ie 40 fruit or would each section only bear that 1 specific fruit? I mean could these trees be as widespread as apple trees, or are these expensive one of a kind tree?
Amanda David I'm by no means an expert, but logically each type of fruit would bear seeds of that type of fruit, regardless of the starter specie the tree originated from prior to grafting. You can't make a new specie that, on it's own, produces 40 different types of fruit without actually modifying it's genome -- which I don't think we have figured out how to do even in our dizziest daydreams yet.

Love how there's not just a list of the 40 fruits literally anywhere. Only things that say "including these".
I think the line "peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, cherries and almonds" covers it, since there are dozens of different types of each of those fruits.
You can buy 5 in one. Trees online, and those are cherries and plums nectarines, peaches, apricots, you can get apples of 5 different types pears.....
5 types of grapes.....
This guy just combined 40 different types of peaches plums cheries etc into one tree.

I know this comment is over a year ago but i just joined a horticulture class and im really interesting in grafting! I look forward to making a tree like that.
Why would anyone ask him: “Why would you want to have a tree with that much fruit on it-you’d have to keep going back over and over to harvest the fruit”? Duh 🙄
Yes from ONE tree 🌳 that’s Awesome 👏🏼!
Question confused me to fruit all year long and constantly changes up to all these different things are you kidding me why would I want why wouldn't I want one why wouldn't anybody want one or 5 or 10 of them
stupid question, please re-phrase.
The people asking are from a commercial farming viewpoint. They want to get all the product off the tree and to market with as few labor hours as possible. They aren't thinking of what the backyard grower wants.
Any human being would be thrilled and amazed to have a tree that bears 40 different fruits. It's like being in paradise, something out of this world.
Something absolutely amazing! So what an abnormal question to ask. Any normal human being would not ask that question.
I think other other farners meant it's hard to maintain 40 different fruit with 40 different needs because farmer's are used to growing stocks of a few types of fruits
Incredible patience, wonderful mind, amazing results.
He’s so passionate it, it’s super nice and cool. I wish everybody sought to do inventive and beautiful hobbies like this.

Well Sam Van Aken you and your trees are forever living rent free in the back of my mind
You remind me of my grandfather - he enjoying grafting and experiencing with variety of exocit fruits and flowers. Most beautiful garden in my country. Tourists will come from Australia and England to see and take photos of my grandfather's garden.
Most beautiful in my country.

Surely this video bought up more questions than it answered!?
Alot more

Allan Aley If you were already familiar with grafting, it did.
I honestly just wanted to see more video of the trees further out and not zoomed in
This is awesome and really very rare, i want a tree like this, i will do the same thing here in my country
Amazing to have a tree with different fruits. 😲🌿
When curiousity and action meets, even one tree can give you 40 fruits..
Guess...it's true
This is one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring things I have ever seen
My mom got two stone fruit trees a few years back and they're really starting to fruit now and she just loves them.
Beautiful art idea and so creative.
Imagine how beautiful is smells to be around all these trees.
