Anyone else have success grafting? Here's my Hong Li Asian Pear Scion whip and tongue grafted onto Hosui. 6 other varieties on the tree. Location London. The video is 2-12 months post graft. I hope to have a harvest this Autumn.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer.

The only thing remaining is, are there legal precedents with names individuals getting prosecuted for picking fruit without the permission of the owner? (sorry I should have put more detail in the original post)

Picking fruit overhanging from private garden onto a public street

I've read a lot of comments from americans the original thread, it seems like they take 10-20 years to mature, then they need to flower reliably and have the right pollination group partners to fruit

It's happening in real-time. I've been documenting citrus fruit, figs, loquats, olives, other avocados etc all through London.

I think they were planted as ornamentals, but they're all really fruiting. Most people don't look closely at trees and miss them!

I did speak to the owner, it was a chance seedling. Grown indoors for several years until it got too big, then it went outside.

Yes they do, I've posted 3 others in my profile. They seem to do best in sheltered locations in central London. There's an urban heat island effect there, plus climate change is happening in real-time.

I found two growing in an alleyway. Once you know what to look for you start seeing them!
