Goog luck. My folks planted one of these 'grafted' trees about 15 years ago- I think it had 5 different varieties. It's about 30 feet tall now and healthy but the apples are never good. They're too small and always wormy

Is that a dog house in the background???

At first I thought this guy was crazy. Different apple varieties vary in size and growth rate significantly. I was thinking that the tree would certainly be lopsided and misshapen. But when I looked around it turns out that these varieties are relatively similar in those respects. Im curious to see how they do after this amount of time. I wish you the best with this project.

Uhhhh. Look this up. People do it all the time.

[foobastion]

Well Paully not only does my comment show that I looked it up. But people do it *wrong* all the time by grafting species that have dissimilar growth rates. Im not sure how you can down vote, productive convsersation and then add in nonsense. Here is a down vote for you though.

Thanks for posting this. I have a 3 in 1 dwarf, diff varieties though. 2nd year, no apples yet. Is this tree a dwarf? Is it grown on a special rootstock?

[leefoll]

I have been playing with grafting my own trees. I have grafted three different apples on one tree. Now I am trying to grow my own root stock.

Can you add red delicious on there too how about a pare? No joke seriously asking.

[StixxmanNJ]

I believe you have to graft prior to planting. Grafting branches produce diff varieties of apples...grafing hybrid rootstock will detemine the height of the tree, its fruit production, chill hours, as well as drought and desease tolerance. Grafting a pear branch to an apple tree (if even possible) would be counterproductive. Having diff varieties of the same fruit close to each other aids in pollinating and therefore fruit prodution...

great info, thanks for reply.

What a great idea!  1 apple tree with 4 varieties grafted onto it! Thanks for sharing the video with the world!
