Multi Fruiting Apple Tree

The three varieties grafted onto my 'family' apple tree give us fruit throughout the picking season. There are more cox apples than either of the other two but all the apples are of a pleasing size, flavour and quantity. I bought it in April about five or six years ago from the local Woolworths store.There was no blossom or fruit on it the first year but we had at least 3 apples of each variety the following year ( enough for each of us to try them) and each year since it has gone from strength to strength. I am quite proud and very happy with it. Good luck with yours, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Oh I`m pleased to see this blog as I have been wondering whether to get one of these for my daughter, they moved house last year, halved their garden and no longer have any fruit trees, didn`t know of anyone who had a multi fruit so therefore was not sure of the success rate.....

we've lived here over 25 years and inherited 2 'family apple trees' which I have no real idea of the fruit other than there are 6 different apples on the 2 trees, they fruit differently, ones a cooker and one is wonderful picked and eaten ( don't even put it in a fruit bowl) and others keep well-- wonderful idea ----

Could do with one or two of those on my balcony! LOL!

I have lots of family trees, all quite newly started, one apple has 29 cultivars on it, we'll see how many survice. I have cherry, plum, pear, cobnut and peaches/apricot/nectarine family trees too. Great idea just watch that not become to dominant
