Propagation Methods
Fruit trees can be grown using four different propagation methods; germinating seeds, marcotting (air-layering), Grafting and striking cuttings.
Fruit trees can be the same species but have a different propagation method. This can influence the trees fruiting potential.
Each propagation method offers slightly different set of benefits and disadvantages.
Grafted and Marcotted trees are generally in very high demand as they tend to guarantee quick and reliable fruit production.
On average, they fruit 3 - 4x faster than seedling grown trees whilst maintaining all the fruit characteristics of the tree is came from.
For guaranteed fruit quality and fruit set in the shortest amount of time we recommend planting Grafted & Marcotted Fruit Trees.
However there are certain fruit trees I would still recommend planting from seed, this includes plants such a jackfruit, rollinia, abiu, marang, soursop & more. These plants grow and fruit quickly from seed. Seedling grown trees tend to be more vigorous trees and once mature they can be just as productive as grafted & marcotted trees.
