[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2773581, member: 30309"] Lots of fruit trees are grafted like this. in fact, most of the fruit trees you find at Lowes and home depot are grafted varieties - they do this to speed up growth as most homeowners don't have the patience for a tree that take 30 years to become mature. Same with almonds. it's a good way to "speed up" the maturation process of harder to grow fruits as the 'host tree' acts as the mature stub for the intended fruit or nut. The vast majority of roses are also grafted onto heartier base roses that have flowers that are less desirable or common. you'd be surprised how many rose owners 'prune' their new rose bush back so far that suddenly they start getting pale yellow roses from that once velvet red rose bush! It's because they're pruned back beyond where the original graft was. [/QUOTE]
