Meg, you're right, the two figs in the photos do look amazingly similar.

Its been a while but my unknown cuttings are growing nicely. It will be a while before fruit sets, however. If you received any cuttings from me, i would love to see how your cuttings are doing.
The first photo is the fig from the mother tree...deliscious!
The second is my cutting. It took some time to root but its looking good. I just love the shape of the leaves.

Hi Meg....it's been so busy around here (lots going on) that I haven't had time to be on here lately, and have missed it! My cuttings from you were stuck in some kind of warehouse for days during the blizzard here, so suffered some damage. However, I managed to get at least three of them going. The largest plant is now about 5" tall, and although I can't see any roots yet, it looks to be coming along. I hope so much they make it and really go for it! I'm babying them along....Glad yours are doing well :) Btw, I STILL haven't had a chance to go by to see the local tree, but am going to get to it one way or another!
