From Vintage Story Wiki
Cuttings can 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. You can also get them by cutting the trunk of the tree, but this will destroy the tree while the cut branches will grow back after some time.
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).
