The plant swap subreddit made specifically for American gardeners. Plants, Cuttings, Seeds, Seedlings, all forms of plants are welcome here! Gardening tools or equipment are also welcome to be traded, freebies also welcome. Please Subscribe!

*MUST READ*

You must flair your post with your state/territory. Do this by clicking "flair" under your post title and selecting your state/territory.

You MUST read your state's and your trading partner's state's customs and quarantine regulation regarding your plants and your partner's plants, even if it is the same state (may be a different quarantine zone). Failing to do so (and abide by regulation) may have severe consequences for the US ecosystem, agriculture and economy, and may result in your fining and prosecution. Check our WIKI for info and links.

Prefix the plants you want with [WANT] in your title. No prefix is required for the plants you have on offer, though you can type [HAVE] before them. [FREE] for giveaways.

If you want to trade within your state due to customs regulation, you can filter through posts by state flair. Type in search bar flair:State Abbreviation (e.g. flair:FL) and tick "limit my search".

Banned or illicit plants are not allowed, and posts and comments trading such will be deleted.


*Keep in mind*

Make sure that the plants you are trading and receiving are not noxious pests in your state (nor the state to which you are sending if you are swapping via mail). Please destroy the plant if it is noxious in your state, or tie it in a bag and throw it in the general waste bin NOT the garden waste bin.

Please consider growing and trading native plants from your area to improve your local ecosystem!

If trading via post, it is recommended to send plant parts or seeds to a PO box or an address which is not your residential address for your personal privacy and safety. It is also recommended that you take pictures of what you are trading and send it to the other person before mailing, and vice versa, to avoid getting cheated.

Please share your personal information via private message and not in a post, again for your safety and privacy.

This subreddit is not for sharing/asking for gardening tips or identifying plants, or sharing pictures of your plants; use these subreddits instead: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisplant/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gardening/

Do not post questions unless you are trading plants and the questions are about the plants you are trading.

First time swapping or need some help or info? Check out the wiki page for more information and tips. Also check out the rules and the FAQ page. There is a guide/template for posting at the bottom of the posting page.

Feel free to add or correct info or links in the wikis!

The using of this subreddit as a platform for the exchange of illicit/banned plants and noxious weeds is strictly not allowed.

Fruit tree cutting swap

I have: Apricots, peachs, pears, apples, plums, cherries, english walnut, black walnut, common grape, concord grape, chestnuts, black/red/white elderberry, black berries (one is thornless), raspberry, prickly pear cacti, serviceberry, currants, mulberries, kentucky coffee tree, and quince

If something is plural, it means I have multiple types.

I also have: many species of willow trees if you want some to make rooting hormones or just because they're beautiful.

Looking for: orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit, other citrus, mango, avocado, lychee, tree nuts, tame olive varieties, banana, grapes, blueberry, different varieties of things I have, fig, anything I don't have.

Cuttings recieved don't have to be rooted, I can send either fresh or rooted cuttings (but certain rooted ones will take me a few weeks to make), I can dip fresh cuttings in dip n grow rooting hormone before sending. I can ship and recieve from anywhere in the US.

Edit: If someone has already offered the type of plant you would have offered, I'm still willing to trade! The more cuttings the merrier + higher chance of success. I have a nearly unlimited supply cuttings to offer of the plants I have (they do grow on trees after all! 😊)

Have one rooted great gardenia, looking for several rooted shrubs

I have rooted an 11” gardenia, my original bush is large with very fragrant flowers. I also have 2 or 3 rooted brown turkey figs.

ISO rooted Celeste, Chicago Hardy figs and especially want dwarf camellias. Please don’t send me any camellia cuttings. I am terrible at rooting camellias. I got lucky with the gardenia 😁

Mom Likes Old Garden Rose Bushes, But I Can’t Seem to Find Any for Her Mother’s Day Gift!

For Mother's Day; I'll be replanting an empty part of our backyard with roses; mom’s favorite plant. She’s been talking about a need to replant this area for a few months now, but she’s been busy with work. I’d like to surprise her in the next couple of months with large rose blooms! I need you to help pitch in! I'm a new Rosarian looking to obtain old garden rose clippings. Old garden roses seem quite elusive online and through a multitude of hours of online and in person searches l've made virtually no progress in finding old garden roses of desirable varieties that mom would like. I've already planned out the well sized plot in my garden and I'm having serious trouble figuring out where to find the roses that would fit into the garden for anywhere near a reasonable price not even addressing the fact that we need own root roses. She grows quite attached to her plants and would love for them to be a lasting memory. She prefers; Borboun roses. Light pink / apricot roses, dark red and dark purple velvety roses, and ramblers with similar colors that would also grow well here for a long time! (We live in Zone 6b, North America, New England) She’s not very picky with the name or brand of Roses, as long as they’re healthy and produce well! They would be greatly appreciated, so l could get started with growing these roses and surprise her later in the season with a luscious arrangement of blooms! I'd be willing to reimburse through online cash; but I don't have many plants to offer. Payment: Venmo or Apple Pay Please message me if you could lend a helping hand! Specific Exemplars of her taste in roses include; Souvenir du doctor Jamain Tuscany Superb Op Albertine Savanna Pearly Gates Eden's rose *Disclaimer; Again, the specific variety or brand matters very little, and any species that resemble: these molds; the ones listed above, and are free of patent would be amazing!

[NY][USA] Japanese Asian Purple Sweet Potato Plants Cuttings Slips Clearance Sale Cheap!

Only $28 Shipped to anywhere in the 48 Continental USA and Puerto Rico

Each Package will contain around ~20 unrooted cuttings/plants/slips of the Japanese Asian Purple Sweet Potato Variety.

The Japanese Asian Purple sweet potato originated in Central and South America. It is believed that explorers introduced them to the Philippines and China in the 15th Century, and the potato then made its way to Japan in the 1600's. Initially planted in Okinawa, the southern island of Japan, they were soon cultivated all over Japan. Eventually, these purple potatoes wound up in Hawaii and became a part of the native menu, where they are also known as "Hawaiian sweet potatoes."

These Asian Japanese Purple sweet potato is said to have 150 percent more antioxidants than blueberries. Antioxidants help to guard against cardiovascular disease and cancer. They contain two times your daily value of vitamin A, half your daily value of vitamin C, as well as vitamin B6, iron, dietary fiber, and potassium. While purple potatoes offer a bonanza of disease fighting nutrients, the standout health hero is the powerful antioxidant content linked to reducing inflammation which helps improve blood pressure, overall heart health and may help stunt the growth of certain cancer cells.

The purple beauty's soft white flesh is loaded with vitamin C and dietary fiber and will be a summer standout in your garden and kitchen.

Molokai sweet potato is a purple-fleshed variety that was developed in Hawaiian. A signature type on the islands, but seldom offered elsewhere. They are much higher is antioxidants than the traditional orange fleshed variety that most people are used to.

Stokes Purple sweet potato is a unique variety with purple skin and rich purple flesh that intensifies when cooked. Aside from its unique bold color, Stokes Purple® contains a high level of antioxidants, making it unusually healthy and nutritious. These sweet potatoes offer a well-balanced sweetness, and are also an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber.

Okinawan Sweet Potatoes: Believed to have come from the Aztecs of South America with the Spaniards to the Philippines and China in the 1490s, the plant of these sweet potatoes did not reach Japan until the 1600s. The initial planting was in Okinawa—the southern island of Japan—before they were cultivated throughout Japan, hence the name. Eventually these purple tubers ended up in Hawaii and became a part of the native menu—they are also known as Hawaiian sweet potatoes. With a creamy, beige skin on the outside and bluish-purple flesh on the inside, these sweet potatoes are grown in Hawaii for the U.S. market. Okinawan sweet potatoes have a mildly sweet flavor with notes of honey and a dry, very starchy texture. According to The Blue Zones by Dan Buettner, consumption of these potatoes is correlated to living a longer life.

Each purchase will include FREE GOODIES of seeds and heirloom tomato cuttings (SPRING ONLY): Your choices of Asian cucumber, Winter Melon, Echinacea Purpurea Cone Flower, Heirloom Tomatoes, and Asian eggplant and MORE.

What's it name? Came across it on one of my walks. Every cluster of yellow flower has a white leaf as a tray. The plant itself has green leaves. How do you propagate it? It is kind of unusual.
