Which trees will fuse?

[Levuccio]

Hey guys

I wondered if you could tell me which trees are you able to fuse together to create a thicker trunk?

I know that you can do that with figs and tridents, any other ones? Has anyone got any pictures of their
successfully fused trees?

Cheers

Most trees will fuse if you have enough time. Those which are quick growers and have an active, thick cambium will fuse the fastest. Young trees will fuse faster than old ones. Why don't you get a few cheap trees and experiment, it is fun. Sorry, I have a wild cherry fusing at the moment but it is new and not ready to put in front of a camera.

crepe myrtle is superb at self grafting. There was a specimen in my street that had two major branches joined like Siamese twins and another has arm sized branches joined naturally.
