You would think the single most important aspect of that article would be a nice picture showing the actual trees, either in bloom or fruiting but all I see is what looks like a photoshopped image at the top of that article.

Surprisingly the "artist" uses the same fake picture on their site as well. There are a few minor pictures of multi fruit grafted trees which you could find if you went to any garden center as they are quite common.

This seems like something destined to impress people who don't know any better. I'd love to see the actual 40 grafts tree in action but it seems to be agricultural vaporware.

Why you think its photoshoped? perhaps its too good to believe? He did TED talk with more photos of the tree. It would be very unlikely for him to not disclosed in venues like TED that these were photoshopped.

That image is clearly photoshopped. The image quality of the tree pixels vs the background, the strange lighting discrepancies and the shadow on bottom left of the planter box that is somehow towards the light.

Look at the transition at 29 seconds in that talk [1]. The clouds are in the same place.

I don't hold anything against the artist though, the article just picked a terrible image to use.
