Does anyone know whether the pits from commercially available fruit (cherries in particular) will sprout when planted? Or are they sterile? --Max J, 07/09/05

I doubt thye would be sterile, but like most pits are unlikely to grow trees that are true to parenat type or be particularly useful in terms of providing edible crops quercus robur 00:47, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Most fruit will not "come true" from seed, but seedlings could be used as rootstocks to grow the variety you wish, which you would graft or bud onto the young seedling. It's a cheap and easy way to grow fruit, but it has disadvantages. For example apple seedlings tend to make huge trees and be very slow to come into bearing. Clonal rootstocks (which would cost more) would control size much better, and would bring the tree into bearing at a much younger age. Pollinator 01:10, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

tropical fruit not decribed[edit]

no tropical fruit is described (cherimoya, lychee, papaya, carambole, tree tomato, ...) also it says that fruit trees are generally propogated by budding, ... (asexual propogation), yet tropical fruit is still much propogated by seed (as from most tropical fruit no cultivars exist/are used (wild species are used instead).

please update the article; at present its too western-based. Thanks; 81.244.204.226 (talk) 12:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a {{globalize}} tag. Please WP:Be Bold, if you would like to edit and improve the article. -- Quiddity (talk) 03:30, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

wild fruit trees?[edit]

I don't believe this article covers natural propagation. 75.71.54.246 (talk)

Vegetative reproduction is now linked in the seealso section. -- Quiddity (talk) 03:30, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

black cherry trees[edit]

hello too all. I have been reading about black chery trees, and I would like to know if I could grow or mantain that tree in or around north west Ohio? Such a nice looking tree.. I want one —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fogfrog (talk • contribs) 20:16, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction descendants[edit]

The introduction currently ends with the sentence "... of living matter from that tree, or one of its descendants.". Is that accurate, or should it end with the word "clones" or "scions" instead of "descendants"? (Iamnotabiologist, but merely suspect that "descendants" is inaccurate here). Confirm/correctme? -- Quiddity (talk) 03:30, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seasons instead of months[edit]

In the article the following sentence appears, Quote:

Two of the most common grafting techniques are 'whip and tongue', carried out in spring as the sap rises, and 'budding', which is performed around July and August.

Unquote

For the sake of southern hemisphere readers the JULY AUGUST should be changed to the correspnding season so that it makes sense. Also it adds to the flow of the article as previosly it is mentioned that the other form of grafting occurs in SPRING. This needs to be fixed please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.171.163.5 (talk) 07:19, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. In the future, please feel free to edit the articles yourself. That's how this place works :) -- Quiddity (talk) 18:44, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apple- Time for a new page[edit]

Apple rootstocks should have a seperate page- this subject is easily big enough and important enough- apple is one of the most commercial, widespread and important fruit species in the world and the rootstock work is very big. The paragraph here should then be simplified to the key factors and names- Keep the Malling diagram as it shows the idea of rootstock size well.

This simplification would then make more room on this page for a better world view of fruit tree propagation.

Rootstocks[edit]

Article could do with the names of the rootstocks, not just M27 etc but what they actually are, eg Quince. 82.31.207.100 (talk) 23:32, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
