I just posted my new cuttings page for this season: http://www.figcuttings.com/p/winter-2016-fig-cuttings-for-sale.html

This year I'll be offering around 230 varieties, with 10% of sales being donated to Figs4Fun.  I set up the PayPal buttons with inventory limits for each variety to keep them from overselling, and will remove the 'add to cart' buttons once they're sold out.

I won't do my end-of-season pruning until after the trees have gone dormant, and since I'm going to be covering most of my in-ground trees with tunnel greenhouses to extend their growing season, it's likely that they won't go dormant until sometime in January.  So my best estimate is that the cuttings will be shipped out in late winter, probably around February 1st, 2017.  They will be around 6-8" long and 1/4"-3/4" thick.

All cuttings will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail.  I can ship everywhere in the USA (except Hawaii), and I can also ship internationally.  I cannot guarantee that international shipments will arrive in good condition (or even at all) due to the inherent risks of shipping them halfway around the world.  Odds are good that everything will go fine, but there is still risk, and international buyers must assume all of that risk.

Shipping charge for USA orders (2 days in transit):

# of cuttings......shipping charge
0-100.......................$10
101-200...................$20
201-300...................$30
301-400...................$40
401 and up...............$50

Shipping charge for international orders (6-10 days in transit):

# of cuttings......shipping charge
0-100.......................$70
101-200...................$140
201-300...................$210
301-400...................$280
401 and up...............$350

All prices are per cutting.  When you click the 'Add to Cart' button, you'll only add 1 cutting to your cart.  Most people want at least 2 or 3 cuttings of each variety.  You can change the number of cuttings of each variety in your shopping cart, just type in the number of cuttings you want and click the 'update' button.

If you place multiple orders for cuttings, I will consolidate them at shipping time and refund you for the extra unused shipping charges.  I will not immediately refund your extra shipping charge each time you place a new order (that would be far too time consuming), but I will issue one refund for the total extra amount at shipping time.

I might order some cuttings if I knew what I've already ordered for 2017 plants. Unfortunately I didn't write everything down and placed 3-4 orders. I know you are very busy but could you possibly send an order confirmation/summary on the plant orders you have? I'm betting a few others have the same issue. Your offers are so good I and surely others get carried away.

Thank you.

The cost of $75 Phytosanitary Certificate is applicable to one tree or per order ?

Wow, $30 + dollars for three cuttings of many/some of the varieties. I am sure you have a perfect reputation based on your length of participation on this forum, so that is not much of a concern... BUT I ordered 2016 plants (expected shipment in July 2016) and ordered plants for shipment in March 2017... I will consider purchasing some cuttings, and more plants once I see some plants show up. I do not mean this in a bad way but I think it would be good for some deliveries and satisfied customers to occur prior to offering another round of cuttings/plants. I understand you had some challenges, and I can understand, but I wondered why none of the 2017 plant offerings sold out and now cuttings are being offered (and yet the 2016 plants were not delivered when they were projected to be delivered) . I apologize if your intentions are good and I have misunderstood your process but after ordering plants for delivery projected July 2016 and more plants projected for delivery March 2017... I want to see some plants show up prior to ordering anything further.

But if the buyer requests to send seperately?


Another thing:

I have placed 2 orders but since then there was change in the postage services and their costs.

Then the 6-10 days shipping was $70 now the 1-2 days shipping is $65. And the 6-10 days shipping is $35. I still want the 6-10 days postage.... :)

The difference for the shipping no need to refund just top up some extra cuttings :)

Thanks.

That's due to a couple of factors.  The first is straightforward: I received a lot more orders for 2016 than I've received so far for 2017.  The second is that I can scale up to meet demand that is far out in the future like that, mostly thanks to the power of exponential growth (1 plant begets 7 which begets ~50 which begets ~350, etc).  The inventory numbers ramp up pretty fast once you get a few cycles into a "grow/prune/root/repeat" program.  Since I only started that program around 7 months ago, the 2016 tree project didn't get to be helped nearly as much by the power of exponential growth as the 2017 trees and cuttings will.

It's both: I'm still taking orders for plants for March, and I'm also taking orders for cuttings for February.

The main reason that I posted the cuttings page now was that several people had recently emailed me and asked if they could have cuttings instead of trees for 2017.  I put the page together for them so that they could order, and decided to just leave it posted for everybody to use in case anybody else wanted to reserve their cuttings early.

Hi, I will place cuttings and plants order once I clear some local authorities requirement. I don't want a delay at the local entry point.

James, I am culling many of the varieties off of the frankenfig this winter due to disappointing resistance to south Louisiana moisture, in terms of splitting or rotting on the tree, usually due to open eye.

I just reviewed your list and figure there have to be some good candidates for replacements there.  Can you make any recommendations for some good closed eye figs?

Olympian and Mary Lane seedless jump out at me.  Any comment?

thanks
