We are in the process of buying a property that will finally allow us to grow all of the fruits, nuts, vegetables, etc. that we have dreamt of; it will be a small farm by the time we get done.

I've got the fig inventory fairly well covered and received some nice grape cuttings from Suzi/Desert Dance. As I thought about the available space, I still have a lot of wishlist plants I need to acquire. I am willing to buy or trade for plants and/or cuttings of the following:

Hazelnuts
More Wine grapes (Might as well go big)
Walnuts
Pecans or Hickory
American Persimmon (my wife's favorite)
Raspberries
Blackberries
Blueberries
Peaches
Elderberries (Sambucus nigra)

If anyone can help, just PM me. Thanks.

John

Need any roses or hibiscus?

I appreciate the inquiry, Greg. At this time, I am focusing on the edible. Thanks.

John, I don't have any to offer you but a few different mulberries would help round out your farm.
"gene"

Absolutely, Gene. Thanks to trades and purchases with a few members here, I also have the mulberries and pomegranates covered. I've got sticks rooting all over my house. I started the orchard before knowing where I would put it. Thankfully, they will now not remain in pots indefinitely.

Wow Jon!  Exciting!  Due to the diversity of existing plants on our new property I'm spending a lot of time at Gardenweb researching things like "What is this on my citrus tree?"  And, what is this creeping viny weed? 

I'm learning daily.  Be sure to share pictures once you get that orchard in!

Irrigation planning comes first outside, but inside is a whole other ball game!!

Lots of work for sure!!

I discovered a funky flowering annual that is also used for food.  Amaranthus!  The young leaves of several varieties are used like spinach, and the seeds like grain.  I'm going to buy a pack of seeds and give it a whirl.

Good luck with your pending adventure!

John,

Sounds like we are in same thinking. I am in move process as well to acreage, and in process trying to purchase some adjoining property.  If you don't graft already I would suggest it.  I have quite a bit of different plant material  to share/trade now or in the near future assuming you have appropriate rootstock. I  too have I lot of plants I have been nurturing  up in pots that  will see soil soon as well.

John,
Close to the coast you might have huge problems with grapes and even muscadines that grow and produce excellent in the western part of NC. Please consult a specialist before spending any money, work, and nerves on grapes. Pineapple Guava is hardy enough close to the coast and has delicious fruits. You might do well with kiwis too - very beneficial for health of any person.

Thanks, Suzi. Yes, it is very exciting and a bit overwhelming, as I want to do it all NOW. I need to slow down my brain.

Boris - We'll be in from the coast about 30 miles. The neighbors all have lots of grapes, so I am confident it is worth a shot. Kiwis have also crossed my mind.

Strudeldog - I have not grafted yet, but I see that as the next progression for me. Perhaps a trade is in our future.

Wildforager - PM sent.

Congratulations!  Best of luck with it.

Bump.

Still looking for non-fig plants or cuttings. Thanks.

I may have some blueberries cuttings (almost spring greenish); will they root?

According to what I have found, as long as they are not leafed out, they should root fairly easily. PM sent. Thank you.

And if anyone has Sangiovese and/or Muscat of Alexandria grape cuttings, please contact me. Thank you.

the local p patch is amazing, should visit yours. put a note in bulletim board, gardners in general share and locally, you won't even have to pay shipping.  I have nice plants I got for free, including many of my figs that I use for base of my grafts.

Grasa, what's a "p patch?"
