Apple-Pear Grafted Tree 6 Years Later

This is an update of my grafting 4 different pears and 1 apple onto a Cleveland Select flowering pear tree. Some say it can't be done, but is sure seems to be working for me 6 years now.

My tomatoes are a new phenomenal agricultural breakthough that allows tomato to grow just about anywhere. A mutation appeared in a cross I made while breeding tomatoes for heat tolerance. It should be a game-changer if I can partner and get the genetics protected and begin production en mass. It's much slower doing it all on my own.

Beautiful, i also grafted pear on apple tree. I waiting for results

[DavidfromMichigan]

Hell yes. Doing what they tell you you can't do. I remember that video. You had people in the comments saying it still isn't possible.

[bumblebee]

You're a talented gardener. I want to do something like this one day.

This is great to see, there's real value in your follow up videos over the years to show the graft union and health of the apple branches on pear rootstock, very cool to see that it's a viable for at least these species / cultivars. An interesting note is that some taxonomists group the Malus and Pyrus genera together. Maybe graft compatibility in the Rosaceae family is underappreciated.

@C3Voyage To deal with the damaged trunk look up bridge grafting. You can take some of the original pear branches (2-3) and graft them over the scar. It can help it heal much faster and stronger. Good luck! Great video - I was looking to see if I could do exactly what you did. Thank you.

So whats the latest on this? I am experimenting with similar grafts and others as well. These ornamental pears are everywhere and are a great resource if you know what to do with them. From what I understand is some apple varieties are more compatible with pears than others like winter banana being quite compatible. As such they can be used as an interstem or other varieties. Is the tree still doing well?

wow when i was a kid i always asking this kind of questions to my grandppa why we cant graft apple on pear he was saying it is not possible .... you are amazing thank you for video!

[RustyShakleford]

How can you increase the diameter of your trunk quickly? That seems to be what produces the most growth or fruit and store of nutrients

[ZankuGh]

Please l have planted an apple and I want to know how it will be if I do not graft it

[avtarthakur]

Sir you can go for approch grafting to save this tree...so go for that and save this .

Just because you "can" doesn't mean you "should" as clearly evidenced by all the issues that you experienced over the course of the video. This tree is *not healthy for multiple reasons*. You already lost grafts and the trunk has major cracks. 1:27 This tree clearly suffered from lack both summer pruning and winter pruning on an annual basis and is encouraging poor fruit tree management. There is no reason for those branches to be that tall. 2:17: winter is not the proper time to cut those trunks for size reduction of a neglected tree (in terms of annual pruning)—summer is the proper time to make those cuts. Overall your banch angles are too narrow and causing bark inclusion. Eventually those branches will break particularly if not pruned properly on an annual basis. 3:54 The fruit was not properly thinned. They need to be thinned 6 inches apart when marble sized.
FYI: Comice is pronounced (KŌ MEES')

That brown rough texture on the skin looks like Russeting. It happens to apples a lot.

[doctorpizza]

Are the pears different to the original tree?/is this a new variety?

[BlueHoundHD]

Thats amazing. Its some kind of a Dream that I reproduce the Idea
