Hi,

Which fruit trees could be grown from cuttings please?

Could plum be grown?

Virtually all domestic fruit trees are grafted onto a wild root stock.

So growing cutting from a favourite fruit tree will probably not produce
what you expect or want.

A cutting would be genetically identical to the fruit tree (provided you
took the cutting from above the graft), but what you would lose is the
effect on growth of the rootstock. Apples, for example, are usually
grown on dwarfing rootstocks, so if you got an apple cutting to grow,
you'd end up with the same variety of apple, but on a much larger tree.

That said, I don't know how easy it is to get cuttings of fruit trees to
strike.
