=== Planting Fruit Trees === | |||
[[File:Planted-cutting.PNG|thumb|A dead (left) and alive (right) planted tree cutting.|200px]] | |||
When planting a fruit tree cutting directly in the ground, each of the cuttings has a 25% chance to take root. However, if they are planted outside of their temperature comfort zone, they will not take root no matter what - or they might grow up only to die during the winter. | |||
=== Grafting Fruit Trees === | |||
A fruit tree cutting can also be grafted to another, already grown fruit tree. However, this has some requirements and only a 5% chance of success. <br> | |||
Firstly and obviously, grafting only works on another fruit tree. It also requires the host tree to have an "open cut", meaning the end of a branch block as shown below. The new cutting can then be {{SneakClick|added}} to the branch and will grow out up to 6 additional leaf blocks of the added cuttings type. When planning your orchard keep in mind that through grafting, the maximum range of a fruit tree can therefore extend - from the normal two blocks out to a maximum of three blocks out from the stem.<br> | |||
A grafted cutting, even if successful, does not completely integrate with the host tree. It will keep the temperature requirements of its own type, and every leaf block calculates these independently. This results in an important point to keep in mind when preparing and caring for a graft:<br> | |||
Do not attempt to graft fruit trees together that have highly differing temperature requirements. In the best case scenario it would simply look silly, as the different parts of the tree would very likely circle through the flowering and fruiting at different times - in the worst case scenario however it would not work out in the first place or the tree would have a permanently dormant branch. | |||
