American professor grows a single tree bearing 40 different fruits

An American professor created a "Tree of 40 Fruit" by grafting dozens of stone fruit varieties onto a single tree. The tree showcases scientific tradition and conservation, preserving rare heirloom fruits through chip grafting. All fruits belong to the Prunus genus, allowing for compatibility. The project began in 2008, with the first fully realized tree emerging around 2013-2014, highlighting creativity's role in sustaining biodiversity.
