Artist creates multicolored trees that grow 40 different types of fruit

by Larra Morris

A project by artist Sam Van Aken will delight lovers of fruit. The Tree of 40 Fruit is a project in which a single tree is modified to bear over 40 different types of stone fruit. The trees are created using a process of grafting.

Van Aken began the Tree of 40 Fruit project in 2008 and has been creating new trees and developing the process ever since. The artist had recently completed a project called Eden in which he grafted vegetables and flowers together and was offered the opportunity to design an orchard. “Ultimately funding for this orchard fell through,” Van Aken explains to Gizmag. “But, still wanting to continue with the project, I decided to graft the entire orchard onto one tree.”
