Hi guys!
I have a question. I want to buy some fig varieties but I do not live in the USA and in my country we have only few varieties.
I just want to buy 1 cutting from each fig from my wish list.
Col De Dame Grise, Black Madeira, Panache Tiger, Emerald Strawberry, Smith.
I also need them shipped in specific condition just like you ship a letter... so I would want a small thin cutting yet covered in damp paper towel because it takes 3 weeks to reach.
I don't know from where I can buy these and at which time? Oh I also do not know how much will they cost...
Can you help a fellow fig grower with this :)

Can't really help you but would offer some advice......

Damp paper towels and 3 weeks mail time with no airing out you are very likely to receive moldy rotting cuttings.  I would suggest no moisture at all and the cuttings wrapped in plastic wrap.  They would more than likely reach you in good shape.  Getting just 1 cutting of each type....you are brave:)   Thin cuttings like you want will work.  The last set of really thin cuttings I tried to root did wonderfully.  I figured the real thin cuttings would not have enough energy but those 50 or so thin cuttings did just as well as the pencil thickness or better cuttings.  If I would not have bet that would have been the case.  

Oh thanks!
I had no problems rooting cuttings, I just put them in ground and they root. 100% success till now. Hehehe. I root mine for fun...

i can totally identify with your post.
Where I live in Australia there are no chance of buying anything but a couple of common fig varieties from plant nurseries
so getting from my wishlist has been so far impossible.
