Tree of 40 Fruit : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tree of 40 Fruit
A ''Tree of 40 Fruit'' is any of a number of fruit trees created by the New York artist Sam van Aken using the technique of grafting. Each tree produces forty types of stone fruit, of the genus ''Prunus'', ripening sequentially from July to October in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=This tree produces 40 different types of fruit )〕 == Development ==
In 2008, while looking for specimens to create a multi-coloured blossom tree as an art project,〔 Van Aken acquired the orchard of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, which was closing due to funding cuts.〔 He began to graft buds from some of the over 250 heritage varieties grown there, some unique, onto a stock tree.〔 Some five years later the resultant tree had branches from forty different "donor" trees, each with a different fruit, including almond, apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach and plum varieties.〔 Each spring the tree's blossom is a mix of different shades of red, pink and white.〔
