How to propagate fruit trees?

About 2 years ago in late winter I cut off a 30 cm long Grape Wine


and a 30 cm long twig of a Fig tree. Then I planted both of in fertile soil. Both of those trees are growing now.


Can anyone tell me can you propagate the following trees by using the same method that is by cutting a twig and planting it in the soil;


Apple, Pear, Cherry, Mullberry, Quince, Plum, Chestnut and Walnut.

How to propagate fruit trees?
All can be propagated in the same manner you used with the grape and fig. You may want to use a hard wood root hormone to speed up the process.
Reply:Most commercial fruit trees are grafted today with a branch from a new variety to an old faithful healthy good producing tree.


Some of the ones you mentioned can be grown from a twig. Some are sprouted in water first. Others are grown from seeds. Quince grows well from planting a rotting fruit.
