if any one wants cuttings from my very old fig tree let me know. I will be trimming it back some soon. It will be budding out soon.

I think you asked me about that before, wren. Thanks for the reminder. I'd like some and I'm sending you treemail.

Hi Sandy --
Thanks for the reminder. Do you think the cuttings would be hardy in zone 7a? If so, I'll take a few. I can reimburse you the postage or prepay, whichever you prefer.

I was moving the plants from the back room where it is cool, to the south windows for some better light because they were leafing out and discovered a fig. I was so very excited ...the very next day my dog discovered the fig and brought it to me

..a balanced life is worth pursuit.

Lynn, yesterday when I checked my fig starts, I saw some buds opening! I hope that means their little bottoms are happily making roots!

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

That's okay, Sandy. I will get some trees here this year. I'm impatient.

Mary that is exciting news. If you are seeing some bud/leaf growth that is a very good sign.

Do you have a photo?

I think I'll wait until they are a bit more impressive! I put some cuttings in soil, some in water. One of the ones in water shows a green bud but no sign of roots. So, that makes me wonder about the ones in soil.

It takes a little while in water and I usually change the water daily. First you'll see the little white 'nubs' along the stem before you get roots. Assoon as I get one root about 1- 1 1/2, long, I put my cutting in potting mix.

I could be wrong...

Thanks. It's good to know! I haven't changed the water, but did think about it. (I don't think that counts.) Running out to look for nubs....

Leap. The net will appear.

Question for you all: I was sent cuttings of a mystery fig tree that produced wonderful fruit in the second year (it is living in a pot). I want to take cuttings to share but...WHEN? I have NOT seen any sign of the tree going dormant in these past 2 years...and wonder ifit WILL go dormant? Should I take them after fruiting? In the late fall?

Any ideas?

It's all about choices.
