Suzi,
 I sent them in a Priority mail envelope. I sent another to California, Jon said his arrived.

Well, so far, mine hasn't arrived.  Bummer!  But at least the mystery of the unlabled tree and cuttings is Solved.  Desert King and Cuttings from RCantor!

Suzi

Stefano,

I would send the plant after being rooted into the 2 1/2 in pots and can see some roots. When all is ready I will send you a PM and schedule the shipping. 

Art,

It's not your fault the mail went astray.  I'm going to let you know if it gets here late!

Thank you for the private messages and for making it right!  I hope I can repay you, actually, I can!!  Look for a surprise in your mailbox!!

Suzi

Looks like an easy rooter!!!

2 of my cuttings have already put out leaves. Really hoping these take! By the way, what are you calling these? I want to label them appropriately.

When talking with other members I call it the Calabria fig. Just to make it easy. But I call it the Chiappetta fig.I name all of my unknowns by the last name of the original owner. If you look up Chiappetta olive oil, you will see it originates from Calabria area

They've been labelled "Chiappetta".  Thank you again!

Let me know in a year or two how they tasted. I think you will be impressed!

Art,

I appreciate your generosity. If you collect Italian unknowns let me know. Happy to send you some cuttings

Art, the cuttings arrived today!  They will be in limbo for a while, while they try to root!  Thanks so much!

So now confusion reigns!  Calabria is there, but two unknowns.  So what is the story on those?  Wish you accepted PM's... 

Suzi

Suzi, they all are pretty easy to root. Very quick. That white fig is a tastey fig. I posted pics. of it. The unknown variety post. You might want to hold on to all of those Calabria fig cuttings if they all root. My family wants me to plant multiple of them. They are that good.

   Good Luck,
       Art

Art,

This thing really is an easy rooter! Direct sowed them in Miracle Grow seedling/cutting mix blended with an extra bag of perlite. 2 of the 3 I kept have leaves and thick roots. Really hoping this thing tastes good!

Tim,  I potted a few up myself. Have them growing under lights. I actually had roots growing up out of my rooting mixture. You won't be disappointed in the taste. I actually plan on planting a few in ground and keep a few in pots. I like it that much.

Art,

All of mine have come out of the shoe box with a nice root system. Put them all in pots tonight. 

Can't wait to taste these guys in two years. 

Nice! Seems like everybody is having good results.

If there is still room on a list of cuttings I would like to be on it as well. Thanks!

Art this fig root like crazy, will post some pic later.

if there are any cuttings left I'd be happy to be able to receive some! Especially now that I found out that my Hardy Chicago from Lowes is a Kadota!

IWannaFig & stepfix,
  You will probably have to wait until sometime next year. I will keep you guys in mind. You will be first on next years list.

Eden13,
 It's nice to have such an easy rooter and be a tastey fig!

I did a little research on this fig. I have found that it might be the same as "Rick's Calabria," one of my best producers this year. I got it from another member. The source of his tree and your cuttings sound identical - a large inground tree in a Pittsburgh, PA, suburb, originally from Calabria region of Italy. Fruit description and flavor profile are the same. Leaves are a match. Neither mother tree is ever protected in winter yet grows huge. That said, I would be willing to bet the same tree is the source of both the Unknown and Rick's Calabrias. It is an awesome fig.

Art here is progress of this fig cutting that i got from you. Thank you so mach.

Looks good! What is your rooting mix?

90% perlite and 10% or so fafard 52.
