Learning to grow several types of crops on one tree

Recently, people have begun to graft different plants. This helps plants to increase their resistance to external factors, improves taste. An apple growing on a hawthorn, a gooseberry on a cherry or a cucumber on a vegetable marrow will become unusual and exciting experiments for your garden. You can learn to grow multiple crops on one tree! Next, we will write in detail about this combination.

Growing tips

Vaccinations are especially relevant for gardeners with small, in size, areas. For example, you want to harvest several varieties of apple trees, but you have nowhere to plant them. Now you can really get several varieties from two trees! The apple tree is the most grafting material.

Winter varieties of apple trees are better for grafting. If you choose this type, you will definitely get several varieties on it. An important tip is to choose rootstocks that have different ripening periods in order to harvest the entire season. You can choose not only an apple tree, a pear is also perfect.

Experts advise to carry out such processes on young apple trees, so that the tree can fully develop. The inoculation should be done close to the trunk for good development and quick fusion.

If you try to cross a mountain ash with a pear, you can improve the winter-hardy qualities of the plant. Mountain ash can be brought from the forest, the main thing is to choose a young tree. After a year, you can graft a pear to the plant.

There are known experiments when a pear was crossed with semi-shrub plants, for example, with a hawthorn. Large fruits with an unusual taste were the result of such inoculations. The disadvantage of such grafting is the short lifespan of the plant, no more than eight years, since a shrub is not a tree.

If your site is located in a lowland or near groundwater, then plants that grow well on moisture-filled soils, such as irga and black chokeberry, are suitable for you. For example, a pear should not be planted on such soil; it should be grafted in summer and spring.

Several crops on one tree: how to plant berry bushes?

Have you ever dreamed of creating trees with berries on the site? That's quite possible. It looks amazing, just like in a fairy tale! Realizing such a dream is not so difficult.

We need all the same ordinary forest rowan. On it you can create a standard chokeberry. You can try experimenting with currants or gooseberries.

Small berry trees can bear fruit and beautify your garden!

Multiple crops: grafting in the garden

In the northern regions, it was with the help of vaccinations that the problem of growing vegetables was solved. For example, if you plant a cucumber on a pumpkin, it will bear fruit well at low temperatures. How does this happen? When several leaves appear, an "operation" is done. We make an approach by cutting off the growth point with a blade on the pumpkin, make an incision between the cotyledons. Next, you need a cucumber sprout. We clean his skin and cut off the stem above the cotyledons. We insert the blank into the pumpkin stalk. We wrap all this with a special material and cover with a jar. After about a week, we do the first airing for a few minutes and then gradually. It will take about two weeks for the stems to grow together.

Non-standard vaccinations

What is the point of unusual vaccinations? Let's take a look at examples.

For example, a pear is grafted on a hawthorn.From such a plant, you can harvest earlier, the tree itself becomes smaller. If you plant a pear on a mountain ash, this will increase its frost-resistant properties. A pear grafted on an irga will increase the flexibility of the plant's branches.

For example, a plum grafted on cherry plum gives a good harvest on soil with excess moisture, on a cherry the plum will become more compact, if grafted on an apricot, it is possible to grow a plum during a drought.

An apricot grafted on cherries or plums will improve its winter-hardy properties.

Grapes grafted on actinidia will begin to have resistance to freezing of the root system.

You can plant red currants on black and you get very sweet berries.

A peach grafted on cherries, necessarily felt, will increase winter-hardy properties.

In the process of inoculation, the main thing is not to be afraid of an unsuccessful result. This is an interesting experiment for you anyway. Use our advice and don't be afraid of bold decisions!
