Hello
I am looking for a few different types of adult fruiting tree cuttings that have produced fruit before please.
I am happy to swap with cuttings from some of my trees/plants and can offer a full list of plants I have upon request
The cuttings I am looking for are the following:-
4 cuttings of any OR all of the below please
1- Lemon 2- Orange/Satsumas
3- Lime
4- Nectarine
5- Quince/Gage
6- Avocado
7- Olive
I have the rootstock to hand as I am trying to show my niece how to graft fruit/citrus trees, I've done a couple of apple tree and pear tree cuttings with her which seem successful but some didn't really take so now I am trying the above which are some of her favourite fruits I am happy to send a list of all the plans I have and will happily swap for cuttings from my own plants. Thank you Bee  |

Sorry I don't have any of those cinzanno except for a tiny olive in a pot, don't think you'll get an avocado which has fruited though as most people don't get them to grow big enough to fruit in this country. Not sure you'll get cuttings from fruited wood of citrus trees either as a lot of those are grown as smallish greenhouse specimens but you may get lucky. |

Thank you SueA I was hoping to get lucky but maybe not. Oh well, I will have to try grafting with other types... I just thought it would be more special to her if it was he favourite fruits..🍊🍋🥑🍑🍐🍏

Someone might have quince cinzanno as they grow into sturdy trees, I like quince but I only have a small ornamental one which I planted a couple of years ago & that has tiny fruits which you can cook with but they're not the same as the large traditional quince. I think you might be safer sticking to apples & pears but it's a nice idea, I've never tried grafting myself but watched a demo of it a few years ago & found it very interesting. |

I am grafting onto dwarf root stock so should eventually get full size fruit but in a smaller size tree... sounds great in theory right... 😉 But practice......hmmm well that's another story altogether.... as long as it adheres to the root stock were ok...

cinzanno what rootstock are you using for Avocado? Are you expecting to grow these in a greenhouse? Lemon and lime are fairly easy on orange, but grafting on to lemon is more problematical. I will be going to an avocado farm to buy two trees. These need their stems, or trunks if they are older, painted in a water based white paint to stop sunburn and help stop them drying out. They need lots of water. I will be growing Shepherd as an early and have forgotten the name of the late fruiting one. I will not be growing Hass because I won't need a mid-season.

Is it possible to grow the lovely Sidalcea from seed or cuttings, or does it have to be a rooted plant.

My Sidalcea seeds will be here Saturday Daitheplant. Two different colours. My dad's favourite was always the pale pink variety and the plant he gave me before he passed away years ago needed replacing.
