Through asexual reproduction, farmers can grow fruit trees that reliably produce fruit with prized qualities such as exceptional flavor, ideal tree size and strong disease resistance. One peach tree grown from seed may produce large, juicy fruit, while another could grow small, bitter rocks. Grafting is the technique most commonly used for woody fruit trees, including peach trees. There are multiple methods for grafting including whip grafting, cleft grafting, bark grafting and bud grafting, all of which include the process of fusing two living plants into one. This process is how the Palisade peaches return each summer with the same unforgettable taste.
