Thanks :)

@heavenlyfarm -- when you say Amaryllis, do you mean seed, or bulbettes? Have never done a seed swap, but have wondered if amaryllis bulbetts count and can be included.

I was wondering if root or stem cuttings would be allowed. I assumed not, but there's someone looking for a plant that can only be propagated by root cuttings and I happen to have plenty.

@sundownr, I will tag Alana here to see your post.

@poisondartfrog, Alana, a question is posted above for you.

I meant to answer that and forgot. Sorry.
The answer is probably not. A few small corms or bulbs that would not be messy or incur additional postage charges might be okay and I won't throw them out should they appear, but unless they are hardy, weather during this swap could be too harsh to trust them to the USPS. I would not want to handle root or stem cuttings at all, though.

Having said that, if someone decides to use this swap tool in April or August maybe, to host a cuttings swap, I would be very interested.

@poisondartfrog / Alana,
I completely understand and agree. Would it be alright to contact the other person via tree mail for a direct swap?

Thank you for the help, Lisa!

Sundown, Your offer is very generous. I am not the host of the swap, but I am SURE Alana would have NO problem with your treemailing the person who's looking for the plant you have cuttings to offer to mail direct to that person :D

Val

Lol, yes, if it were me you wanted to contact, I'd be excited!

Thank you. I'm having fun with this swap and wanted to be sure not to break a rule I hadn't read yet.

No rules about private exchanges will come from me.

A few years ago on another site we had a monthly cutting exchange one year that went from March or April through October, I think. I can't remember who the host was; he could even be one of our current swappers, but I enjoyed it very much. I expanded my collection of Hydrangeas and got some nice tropicals that way. Any GW alum remember that?

That sounds great.

Wow, that sounds like a great swap!!

Indeed! I'll keep my eyes open.

I love the idea of a cutting swap as well!

I found it in the archives. Mark Case was the host, and he called it the "Now Cut That Out Swap". Everyone posted what they had to offer and the players selected what they wanted. This swap system could be used to good advantage for that. The carefully prepared cuttings were quickly sent to Mark, who sorted and sent them out to the players. The turn around time was necessarily very short.
He posted the swap in January and the first swap was in March and they continued for at least 8 iterations. Someone could really take this on. It would require a flurry of work for 2-3 days for the host, and could be made recurring and could rotate through a number of hosts.
Here were Mark's original guidelines that could be amended to fit our community.

"NOW Cut that OUT! Cuttings & Bulbs swap.

This swap is for cuttings and live portions of plants of any type. Rhizomes, woody cuttings, leaf cuttings, bulbs, any part of a plant that you know will root and "clone" the plant.

This is as much an educational swap as it is about giving someone cuttings. Please research how your cuttings need to be treated so they will root. When you send your cuttings, please include directions on how to root your plant.

Now the rules:

1) Sign ups will be until March 1, 2009.

2) You will need to package and mail your cuttings in a priority mailer so they reach me on March 12 or 13, 2009.

3) I have a crew of volunteers that will sort, repackage and help ship the packages on the weekend so they can be returned in the mail on March 16, 2009 by priority mail.

4) When you send your cuttings, include postage for a small flat rate box ($10.35) and a return mailing label in your package so it can be returned to you.

5) Post on this forum what types of plants you can make cuttings and what type of cutting you are making (woody, leaf, rhizome, bulb, etc) and how many you can make like this:

Figs, Civil War Era unnamed variety: wood cuttings. (I can make as many as you like)

Lemongrass, bulbs (I have 10 to share)

Blue bearded iris, rhizome (I have 6 to share)

Pampas Grass, rhizome (I have 8 to share)

Lucky Bamboo, stem cuttings (I have 6 to share)

Butterfly Bush, woody cuttings (I can make as many as you like)

6) Read through what is being offered and send me an email what you wish to get and from whom.

7) On March 2-4, I will contact the person making available cuttings and tell them how many cuttings they need to send.

8) When sending your cuttings, wrap woody sections with a damp paper towel or newspaper and put into an zip lock bag or a cut 20 ounce soda bottle.

9) Rhizomes and bulbs need to be sent bare root or in loose peat.

Leaf cuttings need to be layered in damp (NOT WET) paper towels and put into a zip lock bag.
Please research your plants. There is a LOT we can all learn about cuttings and propagating them. If you have any questions, please ask.

Mark"
