Grafting, don't know about apples and oranges but they use it all the time for pears off apple trees.

Well oranges and apples grow in two different climates, they usually grow oranges in warm temperate areas like florida and california, and apples are grown in the midwest, but i guess that it is possible using grafting

No.o more than a cow can produce a monkey. They are of different species of fruit and one cannot produce the other. Thus, apple trees produce apples and orange trees produce oranges.
Chow!!

Hmmn....good question...I personally think anything is possible. I think if they were crossed breeded or seeded...whatever...you know what I'm trying to say here.. It would grow something...probably not an orange, but some type of hybrid fruit ?? Can you imagine what that fruit would look like and taste like....

I am not real sure. It might be possible. Not unless it was crossed with an apple tre. You know what I mean. A hybrid. I don't think there is one yet.

probably not, as the two species are only related on the level of subclass, i.e. genetically fairly incompatible. i don't think even grafting would help there, you'd probably have to resort to genetic engineering.

Grafting would prolly work.
