Fig varieties originating in Sicily, id ?

Hello everyone.
I searched the forum but could not find some information.
I was given a branch of fig, the fig tree is very interesting for my small collection of local plants in Sicily.
Unfortunately they are not equipped with a heated greenhouse, and I should keep the cuts in the fridge until next spring, about 5 months.
Can you give me some information on how to make the cuts and store them properly ?

Does anyone recognize this Fig varieties originating in Sicily ?.
Thank you !

if you wrap the cuttings in shrink wrap I found they store better than in a bag, just make it an airtight wrap. plastic food wrap will work also. there are many figs in Sicily so it hard to say exactly what type  it is, good luck.

Benvenuto al forum, Totillos. Sei fortunato vivere vicino la Calabria. LOL.

Tell us a little more about yourself and the different figs you are growing.

Hi Totillos,
How many cuttings do you have ?
I would put 3 directly in ground in a shady area, 3 in a pot of compost of at least 4Liter/1gallon, and the rest in the fridge if that is your main idea.
Never put all the eggs in the same bucket :) .

You are right jdsfrance !!, never put all your eggs in one basket, especially if the eggs are many! ;-), I have about 10 good old one-year cutting  and some herbaceous cut.. , I also thought of making some apical grafting if ever work in this late fall.. Thanks for the suggestion !

Ciao FMD , Io sono nato in Sicilia e vivo in Sicilia, ma ho molti parenti in Cliveland Ohio, loro si sono portati piante di fico nascoste nei pantaloni piegati dentro le valige :-) . Io sto' cercando di catalogare, riconoscere e riprodurre le piante di fico della nostra isola, prima che spariscano perche nessuno piu le coltiva. Ma non solo alberi di fico, anche altri alberi da frutto divenuti ormai rari. Visto che sei quasi conterraneo se hai bisogno di qualcosa chiedi pure ;-) ciao

Spiacente che le piante di fico stanno scomparendo nella Sicilia. Come mai?
Complimenti che stai cercando di salvare queste piante. Purtroppo, e difficicle auitarti catalogarle da lontano.

Paulo Belloni sta facendo una cosa simile per la Puglia.

Ho una piccola collezione di fichi Calabresi (Melanzana, Cullummu Niuru, Fracazzano Nero, etc). Della Sicilia ho Sicilian Red=Sal’s Corleone, Sicilian Black, e altri della regione Monte Etna (Hardy Chicago, San Donato, San Vincenzo, NJ Red, etc.)

Grazie mille per la tua offerta generosa. Forse nel futuro possiomo scambiare, rametti (taddruzzi?.?) di fichi.

Ci sentiamo a presto,
