rapid avocado growth with lengthy multibranch >===== side to side grafts

Align two branches together, then goove them so they are like ======== nested slightly, measure that this causes more nutrients to the fruit, growing larger tastier fruit, then grow avocados more rapidly, or fleshier

       Nope.

       If it works though, it could work on a variety of fruits though. there is a chance it could cause orchard trees to produce fruit earlier as well.   

       Also, laser drones could do the topiary grafting automatically at large orchards.

       It won't work. Even with lasers.

       //fleshier cortex// - I think that comes across quite clearly in this idea

       The premise here being that branch diameter governs the rate of delivery of nutrients to fruit?   

       This might work in that it is like pruning the tree; decreased branch space for fruit means more nutrients to the remaining fruit.   

       I have wondered about a multitrunk tree: the premise here is that trunk growth requires root growth several small trees could have their trunks grafted together and so unite a root system over a far flung area, jumpstarting growth.

       I agree with Max. I don't think you could do two branches. The xylem, phloem match up wouldn't be good enough but what if there were more branches. A lot of C cut branches where two C's arms linked into the next C's centre.   

       . nnnnn
. UUUU
  

       But curved into a circle. This gives bark on the inside as well. Four C's might do it but vascular matching might be hard. The more C's the easier matching would be. The bark where two C's, on the same side would have to be sealed. The truck could possibly be any cross-section desired. Stems would have to be the same age.   

       Might even be able to engineer a living wall.
