From Vintage Story Wiki
Cuttings can only be acquired from the branch parts of a fruit tree, and will give 1 cutting for each branch part. They can only be broken with an axe.
A fruit tree consists of three different block types: tree stem, tree branch and tree leaves. While the stem only drops 3-7 firewood and the leaves do not drop anything when broken - unless they currently carry ripe fruit - only the tree branch blocks will drop fruit tree cuttings.
Fruit tree branches that are cut off from a fruit tree to obtain a cutting, will now re-grow a new branch over a long period of time (around one year).
