I was just joking around with a friend but you could grow about 10+ varieties on a plant. If you stacked 4 varieties on top of each other (let it heal first) then added 2 Dwarf or Cherry grafts as Petiole grafts to each stacked graft section you could have (4 stacked +8 petiole grafts) 12 varieties. Petiole grafts are pretty forgiving and heal much quicker. Some crazy ideas to try out when bored of course

5-6 varieties on a plant is easy to do. I figure this much from multiple grafting.. If there is new varieties i want to try but don't want to dedicate space.. Stack all those new varieties together and see which ones that perform best to bring back for next years garden
