Picking a peach on an apricot - is it possible?
I remember when I was a child, my parents conducted an experiment and planted a pear sprout on an apple tree. They say that even in conditions where some fruits do not grow in this way, you can achieve a harvest on the grafted shoot. So I’m thinking, if you graft a peach onto an apricot, can you get fruit?
I doubt this is a good idea. Have you ever done picking before? If not, then you should obviously start not with Persian, but with something simpler. For example, graft an apple tree of another variety onto an apple tree of one variety. In any case, if it doesn’t work out, it won’t be so offensive.
Of course, you can try. But, if you do not have the appropriate knowledge, you can simply destroy the tree. Things like grafting need to be handled very carefully.
Even if you manage to graft a peach onto an apricot, I don’t believe that you will be able to get a large harvest. Well, if you have two or three peaches per season, what’s the point? It’s easier to buy the same peaches at the market than to suffer and worry about such a harvest.
I wouldn’t risk grafting a peach onto an apricot either. I don’t even understand why this needs to be done. After all, they have different periods of fruit ripening. If you have a lot of extra arbicot trees, give it a try.
In order to correctly graft one tree onto another, you need to know all the necessary rules, know when you can do this, and naturally you should make an assumption. That you can simply ruin the tree itself.
I'll surprise everyone! We grafted a peach onto an apricot.It took a long time to take root, but it still grew and was already aligned with the common branches. But... in the first year the peaches were natural, then they probably got dusty and now we have a large apricot tree growing with a peach flavor. But it's not a peach anymore. So you will succeed in grafting, but you will get a harvest not of peaches, but of hybrids of apricot and peach.
