The Dhaka Times Desk 250 species of apple have been found on one tree. Such news is unbelievable but true. A British researcher has given such information.
Paul Barnett is a famous British horticulturist. He is 40 years old. He researched for 24 years. As a result of long-term research, 250 varieties of apples are now grown on one of his trees.
The apple tree behind Barnett's home in Chinster, West Sussex, also boasts rare Withingtom Philbasket and Magnum apples. Khabar daily Bangladesh daily online.
Researcher Barnett said, I first worked in a nursery on a few acres. We planted 90 varieties of apple trees there. I consider planting almost all varieties of trees. But it was not possible due to lack of space. And so an extraordinary thought comes to my mind. With that thought in mind I have been introducing different varieties of apple trees to the same apple tree each summer by budding and winter grafting. The researcher said, in this way, the main tree keeps growing in branches day by day and in the interval of time, all new species of apples are attached.
Barnett added, 'Every year I get a small amount of apples of every variety. But the biggest thing is that there is variety in apples. Apples of different colors and sizes on one tree are very attractive. Barnett's main apple tree of 250 species is 20 feet tall. But since its branches are more, they are kept with poles. By regular maintenance, he has succeeded in bringing this large apple tree to the public. This is what researcher Barnett said. He believes that with desire and concentration, many impossible things can be made possible.
