Amazing One-Tree Orchard! Persimmon Dwarf Cocktail Fruit Tree

Three varieties from this unusual fruit cocktail tree - it is persimmons, nectarines, and peaches all from the same tree. Possible it's three separate varieties grafted onto one rootstock. It's self-pollinating and grows about 7 feet tall. I can reach fruits from this little one tree orchard standing right on the ground. It's especially nice when someone doesn't have room for an orchard, a spectacular sight to enjoy.

    It's really amazing that they came out of one rootstock almostly. Here in Taiwan, I think same in Japan, the season for persimmons should be in automn.

    This is something new to me. I never heard of a cocktail tree before. Very cool!

    Muggle, Bangchik & Kakdah, and Stephanie,

    Multiple fruits in one tree will save some space, some online forums (see posted links) discuss the growth rate for certain branch /type of fruits might not be the same. I will post a followup photos and see how it goes.
