If you want to spend the time and break the record?! I thought I read about 6 fruits on 1 tree but found this?
Record already broken by me?

Hey, I have beaten that record last year. They should come visit my trees. I have gages, mirabelles, prunes, damsons, apricots, apriums, nectarines, cherry plums, plumcots, pluots, Japanese plums, peaches. I have recently added Peach plum hybrid and will also add native american plum, a Peach Apricot hybrid and perhaps regraft the cherry and could also throw in almond into the mix. Just counting the existing different kinds of fruit trees, I have 12 types already, and they are all going to produce fruits this season based on current blooms.
Well if we count mirabelles, gages, plums and damsons as one type, ie, European plums, then technically I only have 9 types which is still higher than the current guinness book of world records and if I have time to add other compatible fruits as planned, this will be a 14 type fruit tree.
I could argue that native American plums, european plums and Asian plums are wildly different from each other, the graft do not easily take across each type, but possible with proper sequence and interstem techniques.
