dual fruit trees

It was probably this that you read. Why not, out of interest? IIRC scions of different fruits are grafted onto the same rootstock, so that shouldn't be the problem. Is there an incompatability between scions of different fruits? James ~~~~~~~~~~ Yes~~ there is a very narrow band of compatibility. Apples will only graft on to apple rootstocks etc.. Pears on pear or Quince. They can be of any varieties. Quite a few of the 'plum' family will take on the plum type rootstock so that plum, peach and nectarine would be possible on one rootstock~~ but would be better alone.. The so-called family tree is usually two or three apples, that have a similar vigour, on the one root. Best Wishes Brian. |
