Tree of 40 Fruits

  • Van Aken has spent nine years working on his Tree of 40 Fruits, and now 14 such trees exist.
  • He didn't create them through genetic engineering though. Instead, he's used a technique that's thousands of years old ‘grafting’.
  • Grafting involves collecting young shoots or cuttings from trees and then inserting these budding branches into strategic points on a base tree.
  • According to Van Aken, grafting is often successful because of the similar chromosomal structure of stone fruit trees.
