A apple tree cannot turn into a peach tree, because they are two different species of trees. However, it is possible for a apple tree to produce peaches, through a process called grafting. In grafting, a branch from a peach tree is grafted onto the apple tree. The apple tree will then produce peaches, instead of apples.<\/p>\n

No, an apple tree cannot turn into a peach tree.<\/p>\n

Can an apple tree switch to a peach tree? <\/h2>\n

The apple is in the genus Malus, while the peach belongs to the genus Prunus. The two are both in the rose family, but they are not close enough kin to be tissue-compatible. Apples have to be grafted to other members of the Malus genus (crabapple, etc.) in order to produce fruit.<\/p>\n

Apples and peaches are two delicious fruits that can be grown relatively easily. However, it is not possible to plant them together as they require different conditions to thrive. Apples need to be pollinated by another apple variety in order to produce fruit, whereas peaches are self-pollinating. Therefore, if you want to grow both apples and peaches, you will need to ensure that there is sufficient space and sunlight for both types of trees to grow. Additionally, good drainage is essential for both fruits to prevent root rot.<\/p>\n
