The mulberry tree is a deciduous tree or shrub belonging to the Moraceae family. To graft fruit trees onto it, only fruit trees of the same family and genus can be grafted, ensuring they share similar characteristics and allowing the rootstock and scion to heal quickly after grafting. The main types of fruit trees that can be grafted onto a mulberry tree are:
1. Pear tree
Pear trees and mulberry trees both belong to the Rosaceae family, so they are closely related and have a high grafting success rate. Grafted pear trees produce crisp, juicy, and sweet fruit with high economic value. Grafting pear trees with mulberry trees not only makes full use of land resources and increases orchard diversity, but also effectively prevents the occurrence of some pests and diseases, improving the disease resistance of the fruit trees.
2. Apple tree
Apple trees also belong to the Rosaceae family and are closely related to mulberry trees. Grafted apple trees produce delicious, nutritious fruit that is highly popular with consumers. Grafting mulberry and apple trees not only enriches the variety of orchards and improves economic benefits, but also increases the genetic diversity of the fruit and improves its quality through cross-pollination and other methods.
3. Peach tree
The peach tree is also a fruit tree closely related to the mulberry tree, belonging to the same Rosaceae family. Grafted peaches produce delicious, sweet fruit with high market value. Grafting mulberry and peach trees not only enhances the orchard's ornamental value but also contributes to its ecological balance and sustainable development.
4. Cherry tree
Although cherry trees and mulberry trees do not belong to the same subfamily, grafting can be successful. After grafting, the rootstock and scion can heal quickly together. Grafted cherry trees produce brightly colored fruit with a balanced sweet and sour taste, making them very popular with consumers.
