People on RIU used to talk about that a lot, mostly interspecies. I plan to do that to an American wild plum I have. I also need to go into the woods and find another one. This one had a mate that died and it can't self pollinate so it stopped bearing fruit. I treasure it for its eccentric shape and it's gloriously fragrant in spring. I need to install supports for winter. Ice storms are more responsible than anything for its shape.20241202_124815.jpg

I had a "Fruit salad tree" for awhile, planted it in the wrong spot and it got too big. It had two kinds of peaches, a plumb, and an apricot graft.

I have a cherry tree sapling that supposedly has 4 different kinds of cherries grafted to the same tree.

That road is tedious, always end up behind a truck doing 55. The view of the backside of the Sierra's is amazing however.
There was no traffic Saturday night, everyone staying put for the holiday weekend. Sunday was very much the same, smooth sailing. But yeah, they’re still doing construction on the same section they’ve been working for for like 3 years now, lol
