I have and can take cuttings of Mulberry, elderberry and fig. I'm looking for sun chokes, walking onion (Egyptian) and or any other hardy perennial food sources that can grow/thrive in the south east.

I've got some sun chokes growing in the garden and would be happy to trade for some elderberry cuttings. I'm in NY (zone 6) and we grow elderberry up here already.

We did have somebody doing one annually, but I can't remember if he did one this past spring, and the loss of the extra page probably took that with it anyway. The idea of a cutting exchange is a great addition! |

That would be cool, they don't usually transplant that well, just kinda a tricky understory tree. You have to have at least 2 genetically different trees to pollinate, and they pollinate with flies and wasps. Odd bugger. |

Tree cuttings:
We have a ranch up in New Mexico that was once an apple orchard- actually the very first or orhard in that part of the state! I don't get up there very often these days, but hope to this fall. There are some apple trees, pear trees and plum trees still producing on the property that have had no attention in 40+ years. The large apple orchard itself does not produce, but various trees scattered amongst the out buildings do great every year. If I can get up there, research cuttings, and take a bunch- would anybody have interest? |

If anybody doesn't have black walnuts and wants them, I have PLENTY. I will send you a box full.
I bet every one will grow, too, cuz.....black walnuts are crazy that way. I also have some (two-year-old) Paw Paw seeds. I never got around to planting them, but cannot throw them away. No idea whether they are viable, but I will send them to whoever wants some. |

I'm on the hunt for anything cool that will grow in a zone 4. I'm right on the line between zone 4 and 5. Nut trees that attract deer or berries would be great. I tried to take cuttings of my blueberries in July and I didn't get any branches to root. I should have tried using clonex and some rooting hormone on the end of the cutting but I wanted to see if I could clone them with just tap water in rapid rooter plugs in a cloning tray.
I've got some sommerset seedless table grapes I can take cuttings of this winter. I'll also have red, purple, yellow coneflower seeds once the flower heads mature. |

I can't quite figure out why. Is it just the wrong crowd? Are people too busy? (I promised a poster above some Juglans nigra, and I haven't sent them yet. Comes from my hair always being on fire.) But threads like Secret Santa and the traveling box of odds and ends get great participation.

I've seen this thread off-and-on, and while I'm interested, I also need to get better at cuttings/growing than I am. I kill most of the cuttings I've taken. So far the best is just to stick them in soil, and basically forget all the fancy stuff like soaking in water.
I did get some spineless cacti to take finally though, and I did the least work to those buggers. I'd be happy the send some of those out in a year when they're actually growing. Goodness knows I got them for free. Currently working on some evergreens I took cuttings of from locally, as well as chipping up the two trees I just dropped over where the garden is going to be this spring. This is in regards to the level of interest question from @Kitties-with-Sigs Problem is also that these kinds of things take a while to go from starting to success at the best of times, nature being what it is. No fast forward button, sadly. Or pause button for that matter! |

So it seems like this kind of thread needs to be long-term and ongoing.
Because maybe somebody says, "I'd like to have some cuttings of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Does anybody have some?" And then someone might see that and respond. BUT...it might be the following fall before they can provide the cuttings. So more long-term than anybody has tried before. OP, if you are up for it, I will help if I can. We can figure out how to do it, then edit the OP and go forward.

I live near Austin and saw a Wonderful pomegranate tree for sale in Costco.
After researching to see if they would actually grow in my area, I learned that pomegranates are related to the ever present crepe myrtle! I also learned that pomegranates have all sorts of interesting varieties that have softer seeds than the store bought "Wonderful" fruit. Some are sweeter, more tart, or have other characteristics that sound interesting. Do any of y'all grow pomegranates? All the local nurseries do not have anything other than wonderful in stock. I would be happy to pay for the cutting and shipping if someone had them to offer. |

When looking for rootstocks I found some crazy people that successfully grafted pomegranates onto crape myrtles!
Texas A&M's home pomegranate publication says that they are very easy to propagate from cuttings. Both softwood and hardwood cuttings can be rooting in soil or water. They recommend softwood cuttings rooting under mist or humidity dome to prevent desiccation. UF says cuttings can be rooted in just about any well draining medium and rooting hormone is not necessary but can ensure success. I am reasonably confident this is possible
