Some of them seem to be a success.
I have new buds on the blood plums, sugar plums and figs and also on the yellow and white peaches. Some with tiny leaves and flowers.
Below are Hydrangea cuttings, these are one of the easiest things to grow from a cutting.
These spiky heads are the pineapple tops from last summers pineapples, they are doing really well. I hope to get at least one from these 6 heads.
These 4 are loquat that i grew as seeds from last years fruit, i am really pleased with how they are growing.
The cuttings i took were, plums, peach, apple, orange, fig, kumquat, lemon, blueberry, raspberry, hydrangea and port wine magnolia. I will do another up date in a few weeks.
Loquat, Chestnut, Blood Plum, Sugar Plum, Green Gage Plum, Cherry, Green Apple, Red Apple, Orange, Kumquat, Apricot, Mandarin, Grapefruit, Yellow Peach, White Peach, Lemon, Fig, Pear, Mulberry. 41 trees all up.
We also grow Raspberries, Blueberries and Strawberries. We have a Red Current but never get any fruit as the birds take them all.

Very impressive greenhouse, Nicole. You seem to have had a lot of success with your cuttings. The birds and flying foxes take off with our berries so hopefully this year we will be able to save some for ourselves.
Fabulous progress! Is there any reason you think the 6 pineapples won't grow? We have great success with them here in Central FL. Thanks for sharing your outdoor post on this week's Maple Hill Hop!
Very interesting post...I didn't realize you could grow a new fruit tree this way. Will it bare fruit true to the mother tree? I have tried fig cuttings before with some success.
Nanna Chel, i think everyone has fruit thieves
Daisy, i am hoping to get 6 pineapples but ill be grateful just to get one.
Meggie, if grown by a cutting you will get true to type, by the seed its a lucky dip.
I love this post and some day I will get to have a green house of my own. I wanted to let you know that I will be featuring this post on my blog at Tuesdays with a Twist, stop by and take a peek. :-) Have a great day.
Another great post! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
Thank you for the feature on Tuesdays with a Twist Debra :o)
thanks for stopping by Marci :o)
Thanks for the list :)
How does the fruit tree cutting survive on their own roots
are they strong enough?
My citrus trees aren't doing too well up here they have hardly grown in two years.
