    Yes (kinda) but not at the size of an indoor bonsai tree. It’d have to be much larger to be able to collect enough resources to grow fruit

    Plants can be grafted to other plants if they’re part of the same family. You can graft pears and apples together for example. Or tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant. You could basically have many varieties of each on one plant, as long as they’re all part of the same family.

      You can buy apples with multiple varieties grafted on. I suspect that it’s limited to within the family. You can also graft tomatoes and potatoes.

        All Apples are grafted. It’s why when you plant the seeds you don’t get the fruit but a crab apple.

    I have a dwarf pomegranate tree which will hopefully one day make little mini pomegranates. All the work of a pomegranate with less seeds as reward! I just started it from seed this year, so excited for the future.

    Punica granatum if you want to google it.
