Can't we just get pollen of a apple tree and mix it with banana tree so we can get apple taste inside a skin of banana. That way its easier to peel skin off and get to fruit.
We could create better tastes. Like making bananas taste like strawberries. Has anyone tried cross pollination?

Certainly sounds interesting. But I would be very surprised if no one has ever experimented with it before?

Have you googled it? :?

Where do you think strawberries come from.

It's a mixture of straw and berries.

Loganberries? Did you ever see Logan's run? They give you the runs.


Cross pollination has been going on for years my friend.

A strawberry and a banana?

That's like ying and yang. Now add a Brussel sprout to the equation, and you'd get a Kiwi fruit.

I shit you not. :shock:

Yep - the reason why grapefruit are so popular is the ease at which they can be grown - all you need is grapes and any type of fruit and hey presto - you have a grapefruit.

Pineapples obviously apples and pine nuts.

Sted is wrong you cannot cross pollinate a vegtable and a fruit - that would be like a human and a pig having sex and giving birth to a pig man - ludicrous
