If you enjoy taking cutting I have a Golden gage tree that has grown from my neighbours pips. It used to be behind our old shed and I moved it. It could have a branch or two tken for growing.

Comment by Vanessa on May 1, 2012 at 9:33pm: Greetings from Utiku! I'm a new-comer to ooooby but keen to grow, swap, barter and exchange ideas :)

We have a couple of acres and try to grow/preserve as much of our own food as time allows.

I'm also working on designing and planting a productive food garden at a local rural school I'm involved with, so any advice or contributions for that would be much appreciated.

My interest is edible plants and permaculture, plus saving seeds and cuttings of Heritage Trees. I am fairly new to planting these, but was impressed with your obvious great knowledge. Great to learn off others that have practical experience.

Comment by Michelle Bisset on March 6, 2011 at 11:16am: The word is spreading faster than we could have imagined last week when this idea germinated... go Rangitikei!

Comment by Lorraine Barnett on March 6, 2011 at 8:48am: Excellent idea, I'll spread the word to those I know!

Comment by Belinda on March 6, 2011 at 8:36am: If you've started your seed-saving, please think about putting some seeds aside to help revitalise communtiy and private gardens in Christchurch. We will be spending the next few months saving, gathering and packing up seeds to send south.
