I know that peaches and nectarines and almonds are compatible. I know that plums and apricots are compatible but not aware that cherries can be grafted on to either

or that plum/apricot can be grafted to peach/nectarine.
There is also the issue of different flowering times - almond generally well before other species so I doubt you can get all these in full flower at the same time but interesting to try.....

Unless he is the Troll in Central Park, I doubt this is possible.
(In case you haven't watched it - google "Troll in Central Park". He has a literal green thumb and instantly grows whatever plant he wants. Favorite movie when I was younger).

Thank you for sharing I now have a new screen saver. The mind boggles of the patience that this grafting has taken. Years.
I wonder how old the tree would be?
Cheers

The photo is definately photoshopped, the tree however is apparently real.
I thought it was fake when I first saw it a few weeks back, so looked into further. I found that the picture is straight up photoshopped, as the tree would take decades to reach that point. The concept is 100% real though... although I cannot find any pictures of the 'real' tree

to come anywhere near believing this I would have to see an un photoshopped pictiure from every month of the year

Sorry Rae! The real thing isn't quite so nice unfortunately, a few more decades and it will though
The creator did a presentation at TEDx where he talks about the process, he's already created quite a few by the sounds of it

Check out "The Fruitsalad Tree" company at Emmaville near Armidale. I have multi-grafted stonefruit, nashi and citrus growing here. They will graft up to ten different varieties (of the same family) onto the rootstock.
