Gardeners love to talk about the soul soothing value of fruit growing. However, the value of shocking your friends and neighbors with your hobby is too often overlooked in the literature. Imagine one tree that grows Shiro plums, Italian Plums, Frost Peaches, and Harglow Apricots. It is self-fertile, on Lovell Peach rootstock and can be maintained at 15' in height. USDA Zones 5-9.
Because of each cultivar's different growth habit, this tree takes considerable care to maintain!
Because there are so many possible combinations we cannot choose which variety will be missing from any of our 3x1 combo trees.
