THIS TREE GROWS 40 DIFFERENT TYPES OFF FRUITS! AMAZING!

in #amazing8 years ago

No trickery here but the tree you see actually grows 40 different types of fruits.

The tree also known as "Tree of 40 fruit" actually started as an art project by contemporary artist Sam Van Aken.
Each Tree of 40 Fruit grows over 40 different stone fruit types ranging from peaches , plums, apricots and cherries just to name a few. Also just as amazing when Spring comes it also blossoms 40 different flowers.

The technique in which this is not special in itself - its called chip grafting which is commonly used to add variety to trees however no-one had successfully grafted 40 different fruits onto one tree.

Sam Van Aken has grown 16 Trees so far in museums, community hubs and for private art collectors around the US. His work to me is quite amazing.

You can also listen to Sam Van Aken at TEDx speak about fruit diversity in modern society.
