Amazing quality cuttings from DesMoinesWAfig and Saxonfig!

Recently got amazing quality cuttings from these members. I wish I had taken photos to post, but too late now since they are already in 32 oz clear cups in the home made rooting mixture. Most of the cuttings were much thicker than a sharpie and super long! In fact I cut some of them in two, still with at least four nodes on each .They were all so fresh and super healthy! Thank you, Shirley and Bill.

I am just starting out from nothing, so buying whatever I find at a reasonable price. looking for cold hardy figs in general. I have set a limit of no more than $ 5.00 for a cutting. All the expensive/exotic varieties can wait.

Glad it worked out well.  That's a smart way to go, start of with some inexpensive cuttings until you figure out what rooting method works best for you.  Good luck with them.

I received very nice cuttings this week from Saxon fig. I have not planted them yet, so I could take some pictures to post.

I got the same cuttings from Slirley(desert King) and were awesome also. Some are rooting and some have been grafted onto my inground Celeste and look great so far!

The long-time members take great care to send us quality cuttings. We are blessed to be able to obtain so many varieties. Great to hear this news.
