Grafted fruit trees

In plant grafting, the success rate is generally highest within the same genus, lower within different genera of the same family, and lowest between different families. Here are some examples to illustrate this:

1. **Grafting within the same genus**:
- **Malus (Apple genus)**: Grafting different species of apple trees, such as the domestic apple (Malus domestica) and the wild apple (Malus sieversii), is usually very successful because they belong to the same genus.
- **Citrus (Citrus genus)**: Grafting an orange (Citrus sinensis) and a lemon (Citrus limon) is also typically successful since they are both part of the Citrus genus.

2. **Grafting within the same family but different genera**:
- **Rosaceae (Rose family)**: Grafting an apple tree (Malus domestica) and a pear tree (Pyrus communis) can be done since they are both in the Rosaceae family. However, the success rate is lower compared to grafting within the same genus because apples and pears belong to different genera (Malus and Pyrus).
- **Cucurbitaceae (Gourd family)**: Grafting a pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) and a watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is possible since they are in the same family, but the success rate is lower because they belong to different genera (Cucurbita and Citrullus).

3. **Grafting between different families**:
- **Vitaceae (Grape family) and Rosaceae (Rose family)**: Grafting a grapevine (Vitis vinifera) with an apple tree (Malus domestica) is nearly impossible because they belong to different families (Vitaceae and Rosaceae). Their physiological and anatomical differences are too great.
- **Solanaceae (Nightshade family) and Cucurbitaceae (Gourd family)**: Grafting a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) with a cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is also virtually impossible because they belong to different families (Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae).

These examples show that the closer the genetic relationship (e.g., within the same genus), the higher the grafting success rate, whereas the more distant the relationship (e.g., different families), the lower the success rate.

I have put together a fruit tree by grafting different types together. My tree has cherries, plums, apricot and nectarines. Its called the fruit salad tree.

My grandfather grew citrus and had a old grapefruit tree with limbs he grafted on that grew orange, lemon an tangerine. He was amazing.

How cool, I've always been fascinated with the grafting process since I was a kid. I'm going to be air layering a couple of columnar apple trees later this week. Wish me luck!

Мой дедушка прививал деревья. На одном дереве были разные сорта груш, черешен, слив. Он был специалист отличный. К нему весь район обращался. А если он на рынке видел у продавца отличные фрукты, он подходил и договаривался что бы срезать веточки для прививки. Например на груше у него рос сорт Ильинка и детская красавица. На черешне была жёлтая черешня, и черешня с розовым бочком.

Omg grafting made easy.. now i dont havd to match up twig size and hope it lives and doesnt dry out.. thats awesome. Thanks for sharing!

That's honestly very impressive, never would have thought to do it like this

Growing up we had an apple tree that grew 5 different types of apples. Momma used to make the most delicious apple pies from it. Fond memories.

Спасибо, а то вся измучилась, думала как привить Вы гений! ❤️🌹🔥🤗🧞‍♀️

The Godrick of nature
Edit holy moly all the elden lords are here

AHHH YES, ITS GOOD TO SEE THE AGES OLD "PUT SOME DIRT ON IT" ROUTINE IS STILL IN PLAY.

[alladar.]

How amazing. That makes it look a lot easier than what I've seen before. Thanks for sharing it

[levdavtyan]

мой отец тоже другим способом привил на грушу разные сорта груш и яблок и все прекрасно давалт урожай

Спасибо🙏💕 большое! Надо тоже, повторить! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[grimchildish]

That's way easier than the way I was shown, that awesome! Thanks, now I'm going to try it.😊

وكذالك انا شجرة لوز بتطعيم اصبح لها غصن لوز. وغصن مشمش وغصن نكتارين. وغصن حب الملوك اما التين فشجرة واحدة لها عدة اصناف الشتوي ومبكر وكذلك طعمت التفاح والإجاص والجوفة في شجرة سفرجل ❤

Innesto semplice ed eccellente. Ti da la possibilità di ottenerr più frutti con un solo albero, basta innestare germogli diversi, magari uno per ogni ramo principale ottenendo da una sola pianta per esempio : ciliegie, pesche ed albicocche. Bravo veramente. Complimenti !

I didn't know you can graft this way. Cool

-От чего умер Мичурин?
-Полез на ёлку за укропом, тут его и завалило арбузами..

Wow, this is such a creative way to propagate new plants! It's like giving a little tree a cozy home to grow in. Nature's ingenuity at work! 🌱💚 Can't wait to see how this turns out!

[chrismofer]

Never seen grafting done like this but very cool!
