Easiest Edible Cuttings
- Cuban Oregano — roots in water in days
- Roselle — green stem cuttings, 2-3 weeks
- Mulberry — hardwood or softwood, very reliable
- Fig — hardwood cuttings, nearly foolproof
- Mexican Mint — roots as easily as Cuban oregano
Moderate
- Surinam Cherry — semi-hardwood, needs patience
- Some tropical herbs — trial and error
The Bottom Line
Most edible plants that grow well in warm climates also propagate readily from cuttings. Start with the easy ones and build your skills.
