Can you make peach trees produce pears or apples by grafting?

No, pear trees can be grafted with other varieties of pear trees, such as apple trees and banana trees. But you can't graft peach trees. Both of them belong to Rosaceae, but the species are different, so it is difficult to survive after grafting. When grafting, the two kinds of trees should be closely related, so the survival rate will be higher.

Pear trees can be grafted with other varieties of pear trees, such as apple trees and banana trees. Generally, there are more grafted apple trees. Apples and pear trees are grafted well, and pear trees can be used as rootstocks, so grafting will produce delicious apples. Apples as rootstocks will bear plums.

Extended data

The main factor affecting the survival of grafting is the compatibility between scion and rootstock, followed by grafting technology and post-grafting management. The so-called affinity refers to the ability of scion and rootstock to be identical or similar to each other in internal organizational structure, physiology and heredity, so as to be able to combine with each other. High affinity and high grafting survival rate.

On the contrary, the survival rate is low. Generally speaking, the closer the genetic relationship between plants, the stronger the affinity. For example, apples are grafted on sand fruits; Pear is connected with Li Du pear and Qiuzi pear; Persimmon grafted with black dates; Walnut and Juglans mandshurica have good affinity.
