Encryptor have you seen the movie Botany of Desire as well? That movie kicks ass. People interested in the effects of humans on plants should look into it. It's a watch instantly movie on netflix. They focus on four plants: tulips, apples, potatoes, and cannabis. They show how our strive for better taste, color, yield, and potency has evolved these plants into more than nature could have imagined. Are we using them or have they found a way to use us to further evolve them?





+5 for that suggestion!

Yeah omnivore dilemma was turned into a movie too. It's called Food Inc. and that movie is nuts too. Also on Netflix. These are the reasons I no longer eat meat. Plus I don't like the texture of cooked muscle.

Yeah after I read omnivores dilemma I stopped eating meat for a day.  But after I had a bean and cheese burrito I was so unsatisfied that  I had to eat a carnitas one right after.

heh heh heh that's the hardest i've laughed all day.
it's fucked up how cows are slaughtered just before they die of digestive problems from the food we feed them. Just like american cars. Made to break down just after the warranty expires.

My friend had an Apple tree in his yard that was the work of the U of M.

It was 3 trees in one, so you could harvest 3 different strains of apple off of the same tree.  It looked so fucking cool.  Then a huge storm took one of the strains off, not so cool after.

It's possible, but not very practical.




I hear with apple trees it takes a few years for the graphed branches to bear fruit.

So that's a timely ass project.

Agreed, but it's better than up to ten years after purchasing a young tree from a nursery. Of course, grafting assumes you have available rootstock, but if you do, and if you're going to be in one place for a while, and you like apples, it seems like a worthwhile endeavor. It could actually save you time if you already had a hardy apple tree available: buy a sapling, take cuttings and graft, get that fruit in two years vs. five (eight, whatever apples are). Plant the sapling too, if you have the space. If you're proficient, you could quickly increase yield and time efficiency.

Also, if you want a variety of apples (or cannabis, pears...) that doesn't have a strong root system when grown on its own, you could graft it (and others) onto a really strong rootstock (I imagine having that 3x3 mom closet devoted to one giant mom tree, 45 strains...:drooling:).
Or maybe graft onto a dwarfing rootstock to get a smaller plant (I think...had a horticulture teacher once say that dwarf rootstock often made fruits larger. Not sure how this works), but now I'm just ramblin'.
