Multi grafted figs?

Hie all. I purchased a 2yr old bare root "Deana Fig" variety and makes it the 4th variety i own. (any idea on the taste?)

I am thinking of grafting other varieties (once the tree has been established and happy) to make room for other trees like apples, citrus e.t.c. Is there a max number of grafts i can do to? I am thinking of grafting my brown turkey, black genoa and white adriatic and possibly an excell fig. 

thanks.


You would be amazed at the amount of info you can find using the forum Search feature.  Start by reading the thread posted below "Frankenfig"

I have an adult tree (roughly 6 years in the ground) that now has 7 varieties and one caprifig grafted. They are all developing fine and some are even producing (4 grafted last year and 2 this year have figs).

Most of the grafts are Whip and Tongue (quicker to develop and start producing) and a few are Chip buds.

Here's the tree now:

Deanna is really sweet and tasty. It's good.

That looks delicious. I cant wait to have my first figs from this tree!

Frankinfig has i think 50 varieties may 100. Lol. At least 50. I seen it in person. Very nice man and likes to shiw it off if he has the chance. And we like veing there. Eating figs of all sort right offhis tree. And he gives free grafting classes !!!!! ;-)
