One-of-a-kind tree on display in Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose is merging art and agriculture in its garden with the "Tree of 40 Fruit."

The tree is the only one of its kind on the West Coast.

Artist, farmer and Syracuse University professor Sam Van Aken Wednesday grafted local stock onto the tree in an effort to produce 40 different types of stone fruit.

The tree is expected to blossom into a kaleidoscope of colors like purple, crimson and white at different times of the year.
