Grow your own fruit from a cutting
Did you know that you can grow some types of fruit trees, bushes and vines from just a cutting? Yes, you could grow most things from a seed but many plants that are hybrids may not "grow true" from a seed. This means that it may not produce fruit that is the same as the plant you got the seed from because of mixed genetics. Growing from a cutting is a much more reliable way because you are sure to get a plant that is exactly the same as the parent plant. Also, the plant will mature and produce fruit faster than from a seed. For example, an avocado plant grown from a pit/seed will grow well but you will have to wait about 10 years before it produces fruit, or not. Because of the mixed genetics the fruit can be like any of its ancestors or may not fruit at all. A Haas Avocado seed is very unlikely to produce another Haas avocado-like fruit. A cutting may start producing fruit the same year or up to a few years after it roots. Grafting is another way to make a new plant b...
