To safeguard
and conserve (in a decidedly original way) the species present in the orchard,
Van Aken acquires it and begins to "play" with the grafts: the result
is a tree that is both a botanical prodigy and a work of art.
The artist imagined a tree that was incredible in appearance and function
He began working with grafts, creating hybrids between genetically similar plants
He focused on stone fruit, a set of fruit trees including peach, plum, apricot, and cherry
If in autumn and winter it looks like a tree with no particular signs, when the moment of flowering arrives it reveals its secret
Each grafted part has its own color and its own type of flowers
And obviously, the flowering follows the fruit production, depending on the species
At any
time of the year, the tree is capable of bearing fruit, obviously different
every time
It wouldn't be bad to have one in the garden, would it? ;-)
