Eventually one day we may export overseas but currently at this stage, we found someone interested in Singapore who did all the research into exporting our trees to there and we've worked out a way to make it happen; so we do export to Singapore. This is the only country we currently export our trees to. In regards to the above comment, grafting fruits from the same family has been around for years. You can only graft the same families together – all stone fruits on 1 tree: plums, nectarines, apricots and peaches, all citrus on 1 tree: oranges, mandarins, lemon, grapefruit, tangelo, pomelo etc. The pear and the apples are from separate families. All the fruits retain their own individual characteristics e.g. flavour, size, ripening times etc. Just to clear up any confusion to the above article, we do not ship worldwide, only Australia at this stage.

However, do they mention what happens when those fruits cross-pollinate or if they do? You might end up with a blending of fruits that isn't as harmonious as plumcot or peachcot. Genetic engineering, by chance. ;) Interesting ide. However, do they mention what happens when those fruits cross-pollinate or if they do?
