Fruit salad trees with six different fruit-bearing branches grafted on them

Fruit salad trees with six different fruit-bearing branches grafted on them:


The Fruit Salad Tree Company of Emmaville, NSW, Australia sells trees that have up to six different fruit-bearing branches grafted on them.





* Stone fruits which grows peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots and peachcots

* Citrus which grows a winter and summer orange, mandarins, lemons, limes, grapefruits, tangelos and pomelos

* Multi-apples only

* Multi-nashi fruit only

The Fruit Salad Tree can be grown in the ground as for normal fruit trees, or in pots for those people with very limited space. Instead of having numerous different trees with more fruit than your household can consume there is only one tree with all of the fruits ripening naturally over a period of months. There can be more than one variety of an individual fruit on a tree, thus extending the picking time.
