Grafting fruiting branches to ornamental trees

Fruit trees are rarely a fruit tree alone today. Instead they are a grafted tree. That is a tree attached to another tree. In practice this is true but not all grafted trees are fruit trees. There a large portion of the tree market made up of ornamental. These are trees that at best will produce sterile fruit that is tiny. At worst they will just produce flowers that are sterile. This is fine for garden trees but it may not appeal to everybody. Fortunately you can graft to these ornamental trees. Grafting to an ornamental tree takes it from being a purely pretty looking tree to something useful. The larger the tree the more you can do. In this case we are taking a large ornamental cherry and making it into a diverse tree. We are able to attach many fruit tree species to this tree. That is because they are all stone fruit of one kind or another. As an ornamental cherry tree is compatible but we would no be able to graft pear or apple for example. The range of species suitable includes: Plums Cherries Nectarines Peaches Almonds Apricots If it were a different species of ornamental tree we could have grafted something else. For example ornamental pear could tolerate pears and possibly some kinds of apples. As it is compatible with each different species we can graft oi a different branch. This means we can add a wide variety of tres to the main tree. It provides diversity of fruit and flowers.
