>>1895605I grow apples in socal and have been very disappointed. If your area is good for apples and you have a shit ton of space then I would suggest buying benchgrafted trees. U can usually buy them for less that $15 per tree and can select from a wider variety than what you would get from a big box store or a local nursery.
>>1895618If he has tons of room a 5 in 1 is not advisable. The pruning has to be done very carefully as to not allow one variety to dominate.
>>1895668Figs, pomegranates, and mulberries (excluding morus nigra) are all very easy to root. Guavas can be rooted but are very difficult.ive see a couple videos rooting citrus but you need a professional operation. Apples, stonefruit, mangos, do not root as far as i know. Luckily, if you have access to a variety you want you could asexually reproduce that exact variety through grafting and budding.
Pic related is a mango graft i did this year.
