How many kinds can one tree hold? This one tree has 40 cultivars, all fruiting.
Here are samples of plums and plumcots. Mostly Japanese plums and their hybrids. Not shown are my European and Russian types on the same tree. That same tree has peachcots and cherry plum hybrids. The fruits of those not shown are still tiny or were already harvested.

Tree is loaded from the knee high branch level to the top of the canopy
