There has to be a library land metaphor here somewhere!

“Sam Van Aken created a tree that “grows over forty different types of stone fruit including peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, cherries, and almonds.”

“Sculpted through the process of grafting, the Tree of 40 Fruit blossom in variegated tones of pink, crimson and white in spring, and in summer bear a multitude of fruit. Primarily composed of native and antique varieties the Tree of 40 Fruit are a form of conversation, preserving heirloom stone fruit varieties that are not commercially produced or available.””
