I have had good luck with cuttings received in the mail and thought it would be fun to see what else is out there!
If you've got something great to share list it here and anyone interested can DM you to get it mailed out! You're in charge of figuring out a trade or payment or however you wanna do it.

I'll start! I'm in the high desert zone 7
I've got 2 things that I think would be a good share:
1. Mullberry tree - I have no imformation on this tree other than it is huge and productive. Probably planted when the pioneers came to this area of southern Utah.
2. Grapes - A special local grape that you basically can't kill if you're in the desert. It grows with absolutely no care in the blazing sun (we get 11 inches of rain per year) and produces a good amount of small purple grapes that are good for juicing and wine. I've rooted cutting from this vine several times and while they take a long time to root, they almost all take. Funny enough it grows on the side of our town's gas station and a lot of locals have taken cuttings from it over the years. It's like a little local celebrity!
If you want either of these DM me your mailing address and I'll send them out! Happy to just share for free, but would love a trade if you've got something!

Need to get to spring (I'm in 6b) but I have golden raspberries that are heavy producers. Also have wild blackberry and raspberry.

I have some extra fig cuttings that I'm currently trying to root. IDK how they would do in shipping with them already being in soil but I'd be happy to send a couple in exchange for your mulberry and grape
