It's the way they're made, you basically grow a tree to sacrifice and jam whatever variety you're trying to grow on top of that so as to utilize it's root structure.
Plants are dope, I found all this by trying to prove the 40 fruit tree was bogus but no that's an actual thing you can do with some fruits. So like a plum, apple and an orange from the same tree.
TIL trees can lose the will to live (or gain the will to die maybe?)
