$1 cuttings

do you have any more

JC, please see the previous post. They're all gone.
If I could offer you a little unsolicited advice, please read on:

This forum is about sharing.
Information.
Experiences.
Yes, even cuttings.
I don't want to lecture you, I admire your enthusiasm.
Fact is, everybody here has that enthusiasm in common with you.
Many of us have been on the forum for years, and have built relationships with other collectors, and even then have not asked for certain varieties.
Most "rare" varieties were acquired by someone who spent a lot of time and money getting, then evaluating them.
I don't want you to take this the wrong way, because I mean no harm.
Be honest with everyone you encounter. Even those you don't meet face to face.
There are people here who have been around for many more turns of the globe than you or I.
I know you said you read everything on this forum.
I don't doubt it. I have too.
But then I read it all again.
And again.

Then I listened.

You are approaching this forum in a harsh way.
Just back up a little bit.
Let people show you their kindness, don't demand it.
You'll be rewarded for your patience.
You'll probably kill most of your cuttings the first time around, which is ok. We all do it.
I'll send you some other cuttings in March. I'll make it a nice assortment of desired varieties.

If...

You post pictures of the progress you're making at rooting what you have. Even if it's only BT and Celeste.
Ask for advice from members if you're having problems rooting. Show off the good results. Share what you learn.
I'm a man of my word, but first you have to agree to do this.
Do we have a deal?

i have been sucsefully rooting cuttings from the beggining of the year i got at least a 75 percent success rate i have around 35 bt/celeste trees but i will give them to people to get figs known even more only way i see that i disrespected this forum is by lying about the other page but i came clean its just another page its really not a big deal but ok


Just so you know who this jc_figs is, here is a response on Garden Web when I call him/her out for trying to deceive us here on this forum.

i dont appriciate what u said on garden web keep yo mouth shut.

This is not the profile of the imposter trying to infiltrate this forum.  This is not the fake 13 or 14 or whatever person claiming to be.  Don't feed the troll!!!

Bravo!!
Rui is the man

you see that i cant even respond on garden web u liar i couldnt figure out ho so yeah u the troll

Perfect post, Rui.  You're a good man.

ruuting we have a deal

JC, we have a deal?

Take photos of your plants, upload them to a new thread, and tell us about your process.
Take the criticism like an adult. There will be criticism, because you've already bugged people, and they will lash out at you.
Now you have to take it with grace, and humility.
That'll be your thread, and you'll find that it's hard to feel criticized, but the praise is worth it.
It's not too late for you to apologize to the people you've annoyed, even if you don't think you've done anything wrong. It'll make more sense later, after you PM them with some sincerity.


Thanks Igor and Frank.

ok i will post them on a new thread after school tomorrow

Well said Rui.

Thank you Calvin.
