Plants for a new world, an ongoing project

From Afternoons, 1:23 pm on 6 September 2023

Dr Falk Kalamorz, is leading a programme an intriguing Plant & Food Research project called New Plants for a New World.

The idea is to test out whether grafting technologies will allow any imaginable combination of fruit and plant to successfully grow.

That means  one day we could see cherries, apples apricots and bananas all growing on the very same plant at the very same time.

Dr Kalamorz talks to Susie about what they're doing and why.
