...and when it stops, nobody knows. Cuttings 2014 Last Saturday.

Wow that's awesome, very exciting

Nice!

A lot of work Jon!

:)

Woooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Jon!  I guess you have the most limbs!

what are they going to become?

With proper care, new trees. ;-))

i want to complete my wish list this year, would you have any of them? I'll buy;)
Specially the Italian ones.

Awesome! I can hardly wait!

Ahhhh. The sweet smell of fresh cut fig wood. Nothin' quite like it.


Now the real fun begins for you Jon :-) !  May it go well for you.

Aaron, Jon will soon be selling cuttings.  Wait for his post and he'll give us instructions on how to buy and what's available.

Giddy up :) 

Bill, nothing like fig sap everywhere. With our warm January, they are really juicy this year; really juicy.

Bob C, can you grow Vasilika Sika there? i thought it requires Caprification.

Hi Pitangadiego,
I didn't understand well: Have you plans to play mikado or making a barbecue ? :P
Or did you buy a new piece of land ?

Jon, I can imagine. That stuff gets really sticky. I got it all over our dining room table one time. The wife wasn't too happy about it. I have my own table to work from now ;-)) .

BTW, all that juicyness just means the cuttings are oozing with life :) .

jdsfrance - I believe Jon's post is to announce that he will soon be offering cuttings for sale from the figs4fun collection.

Wow that's one hell of a pile!!

Not having been here for Jon's fig cutting and distribution extravaganza last year, I was wondering if that is just the first day's cuttings or the whole pile to be sent out?  That is a lot of cuttings, but I know Jon has a gazillion or two fig plants.

Just a few guesses, but that looks like about 15 bundles of branches behind the baskets, each with about 8 branches, each could be cut into about 4 big cuttings - that is roughly 480 cuttings.  It looks like there are about a dozen bags in each basket, each with 20-40 cuttings, estimating roughly another 720 cuttings already bagged up.   My guestimates could be off, but that could be 1200 cuttings sitting there!

You can't see me, but I have my "Excited Face" on!!!

Jon, Looks like you're having FUN!
Oh course you're going to tempt us all with a picture like THAT!!! :)

@ Ed. I'm fairly certain that the picture above represents only a small fraction of the total cuttings that Jon will have available by the time his list comes out. In fact, the number you have above is close to the number of varieties that Jon has access to.
Below is a quote from Encanto Farms welcome page :-) :

"Our collection currently includes about 100 banana varieties and about 1100 fig varieties." 

Now there's a number for you to do some estimating with Ed :-0 !  Yeah, Jon has his work cut out for him in a big way.   But I'm sure you're use to it right Jon ;) ?

I've offered cuttings of 2 varieties at a time and about 200 of each and that was taxing enough.   I can't imagine how hard it is to offer a thousand varieties, or even a few hundred.

I just wonder if this will be a crazy rush to the door like you see on the news when Walmart opens on Black Friday
