I've just signed for a 5 rod allotment, and I want to increase my fruit production massively over the next few years and wanted advice from people as to which fruits propgate easily (and free).
I have 4 blackcurrant plants I will take substantial cuttings from to give me ~20. I've taken strawberry and framberry runners so I now have ~100 from 20 or so plants this year, 5 fig cuttings potted early this year which are growing nicely. I also plan to take some cuttings of apple and grafting them onto rootstocks I purchase next winter and the winter after. I'd be happy with 20-30 espalier'd apple trees. I also have 2 Autumn bliss raspberry plants my dad is giving me, and a tayberry plant. I'm assuming these last two can be propogated by suckers?
My neighbour is giving me some grape cuttings (strawberry grapes), so I can have a vine or two.
Question is... which other fruits can you recommend that are easy and/or free to propogate into multiple plants/bushes/trees in the future?
