I just need someone to go cut some branches off of a chaparral/creosote/gobernador bush and mail them to me so I can try to clone them. What’s it gonna take to convince you to be that someone for me?

I grew up in New Mexico and my favorite smell has always been desert rain, and I haven’t gotten to smell it since I moved away in ‘04-ish. I had bought seeds some time back, and am trying to start them, but if I can clone a branch, that would be terrific.

Thanks for your time!

Edit: wow it took an astonishingly short amount of time. Thanks again to @AzSeaindooin420 !

I had intentionally written my post to be a bit open ended, but put it in the trading post so people would know I’m not expecting something for nothing!

Although I’m open to all the above. I do have beans for trade, or I can send the interested party some homemade soaps or lotions of whatever scent you like. Veggie seeds. Shipping funds.

Thanks, but I already have seeds and am starting them! I was hoping to clone a branch because my friend had successfully cloned rosemary from the grocery store and it seemed like a more effective way to end up with a relatively established plant

You can actually buy fully rooted bushes of it on etsy.
