Grafting questions?

I was wondering since Mulberries are almost the same as figs, has anyone ever tried to graft a fig to a mulberry? Has any body ever tried to graft a fig to any other fruit tree?

Generally grafting must be done between like plants, or very, very closely related plants. I am guessing, but plants that do not pollinate one another, are likely not close enough.

Plums and apricots are both "Prunus" and can be grafted and cross-pollinated, for example.

There should be plenty of info on the internet.

That is good info!  I'm glad to know that.  I know the stonefruit (not sure if they are all prunus) - plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines -  can be grafted on 1 tree.  Do you know if they all cross pollinate?

Hi drphil69,
To make a long story short, search for "pluot" ... and find what they are ...
