Fruit Trees for trade??


Does anyone have any fruit trees they'd like to send me a cutting of? I don't know how to root them, yet, so don't go snipping just yet. Unless its easy like Rose of Sharon, just stick 'em in the ground and walk away, lol.

I've been dying for some good fresh fruit and I'd love a few trees of my own.

Apple, Orange, Pear, Peach, Cherry, etc... doesn't matter.
Trees, Bushes... as long as it produces fruit...

Can anyone help out?

I don't think you are going to have a lot of luck rooting a cutting (except for figs maybe) unless it was layered first. Most commercial quality fruits are cuttings that are grafted onto appropriate root stock.
