Question: I have seed cuttings
Good morning I have a friend of mine, who has a lot of land, but she doesn't have much money to buy plants, and I advised her to plant the seeds or make cuttings. Could you advise me on fruit plants and what plants? including lemons and oranges? And also for the olive trees, I have table oil? thank you Mille Lumari from the island of Milos Greece
Seeds or cuttings: Answer: seeds I have cuttings
Dear Lumari,
if it is true that shrubs and flowering plants are easily obtained from seed, as far as fruit plants are concerned, this is not so simple; most fruit plants are grafted, to obtain fruits of the best possible size and flavor. Therefore, taking the seeds, we often obtain plants that produce little sweet or uninteresting fruits, or even that do not produce fruit. Delvatic citrus fruits, those obtained from seed, generally do not bloom; the cherries obtained from seed generally have tiny fruits with a bitter taste; often prunes, apricots and wild peaches, obtained from seed, produce small sweet little plums. It is therefore quite difficult to sow the fruit plants, because before seeing the fruits, and then understanding if they are good, you have to wait a couple of years. Perhaps the most successful you can have by propagating the plants from cuttings: the cuttings are made in the spring, using the still green growth of the new hieroglyphs, or in late summer using the tips of the branches that have not bloomed.
