How can you a new orange tree from old one
Hi everyone, I'm a newbie here and I have a question.
Is there a way to start a new tree from an existing tree? What we have is an old (about 20 to 40 year old) but helathy orange tree at my sister's house which she is selling in Sacramento CA. This orange tree has the kind of oranges we had all over our neighborhood growing up in Oroville CA. We don't see those kind of oranges anymore, so this tree was a treat to have for awhile. We would like to start some new trees from it if it can be done to take with us. The oranges are seedless, huge, juicy, sweet and have very thick easy to peel skins that smell wonderful. I don't know what kind it is, I just know that it's the only tree I know of that makes oranges like we used to be able to get all the time but can't anymore. Can we do it like taking a cutting from a plant and starting it?
We can't afford cloning I don't think, nor transplanting.
Thanks
