I seem to suffer from an....my plants can go dormant but I HAVE to be rooting something syndrome.

I'm looking for pakistan mulberry cuttings, and I don't know what else.

I can offer cuttings of various fruits, my Female Anna Kiwi, a few different currants. I also have nicely rooted hardy pomegranates that I'd part with for something also rooted and growing ( can write up a list).

I'm also looking for an already rooted Apricot tree, for an already rooted Cold hardy Pom variety....is that possible ? I think not LOL

If anyone is interested, I can actually make a decent list up. I realize this might not be the perfect timing for a trade such as this.

I suppose we can trade anything just about. I'm only just branching out from figs so don't really have anything, but wanted to respond and say hello. I personally hope to purchase a nice large persimmon tree to plant in a couple weeks , and get some cuttings for grafting of a different variety. Large Asian persimmons are  almost pest free, birds may be the main concern. I want a Fuyu which can be picked Early and ripen on the counter some and is a crisp non astringent variety that can be eaten like an apple, then one of the huge acorn shaped astringent types that has to be fully ripe to be edible but is so sweet and gooey. Then one more smaller one that has a different flavor and color for variety sake. And space out the ripening stages where Fuyu ripens now, then one that ripens a few weeks later then one a few weeks later if possible. So we have sweet nutrient dense living food most of the winter. 
    And I really want a self fertile kiwi berry vine. They can get so big and are called hardy kiwi, I e read that a mature vine can produce as much as 100 pounds of kiwi 🥝 now that's probably plenty. 
    Then Blueberries seem to do good here to so want a variety of them. Just started growing those 3 yrs back, the one I gave my mom did great in a pot, but we moved it to in ground wrong time of year and it suffered allot. Will do better next time. 
    I will be giving away a few fig cuttings on here this year, some nice varieties too. Some will work in shorter seasons, and some need a longer season or early start, but all are very good, and some are really top shelf quality above many really good figs. As part of my free fig trees for local families project I give cuttings away too. I find that people here are only familiar with low quality under ripe figs if at all, so few people actually take a tree, unless I set them out by the road, then Five or ten can be gone in a day. But taking some to the fig Frolic in 2023 was fun, got to see people's face as they got a free large Cdd Blanc with figs on it or another variety. That was fun. I didn't make it this year and I missed it, being around all those people who love figs is a treat.
 

I grow quite a bit.....and I think , dare I say it, I'm good on figs, at just 38 varieties, although I would like a good honey variety. 
I have both the male and female, Anna Kiwi and Meader Male. They run rampant let me tell you. I also have quite a few blueberries, raspberry varieties, my Japanese Persimmon....loved the flavor, currants, etc.  yeah most nurseries here in East TN, offer Brown Turkey Fig, and that's it.

I havn't made it to the last two fig frolics.....this past year I was on a whale ship in Maine, 60 miles off the coast, to celebrate my birthday !

Yes please, are you sure ?

I think somehow I'm commenting all in one spot, instead of answering individuals ( sigh )
 
@"Smokymist"#159   Yea the commenting thing is a bit weird right now, but soon it will be fixed.
Just pm me your address and I will get it sent out to you. :)
 
Sales are one thing but you can trade whatever you like. This forum does not facilitate anything. This is just the piazza. I just ask everyone to use common sense and respect their local laws. Beyond that... keep your private dealings... private. FF is not party to any trade or transaction. 

Yes, I'm still working on getting the new software in place.
 
If someone could send me a (few) Pakistan Mulberry cutting(s) [I'm not very experienced in rooting cuttings yet, so would like to maximize my chances], it would make my day!

I'm just getting started with figs, so I don't have anything to offer but my gratitude (yet!), but will obviously pay for postage.

Gosh I love this idea as well but my garden and plants are all still too new to offer anything :(

I hope this coming year to have more mature plants I can share from. I am growing figs and poms :)
 
We have apple trees ready to bareroot if anyone wants to trade. We Mostly have heirloom apples. They are between 3-5 feet tall.
We can trade biochar too for anyone that isn’t in a place they can make it themselves.

Looking Figs, Willows, mulberry, cold hardy pomegranate. Red osier dogwood too.
 
On m111 and G214 rootstocks here are some apples we have.
