These arrived today, wrapped together in (a roll?) of plastic wrap after a 5 week trip and some time in limbo.

I had given up on their arrival.

I began unwinding yards of plastic wrap, and inside were 4 beauties already showing roots!  Maybe that's the secret to roots!  Cut fresh, wrap in tons of plastic, put in a padded envelope and mimic the postal system for 5 weeks prior to peeking........

Enjoy!

Congrats!
And we shouldn’t ask what they are, right? :)

Greenfig, they are a rare variety, and when they start to show leaves and roots, I'll be happy to share what they are.  Don't want to jinx anything!

Suzi

Or where they are from?

They are from Spain.  All tips have been wrapped in parafin tape to keep them from drying out.  Two are in damp sphagnum in a baggie, and two are in new potting soil/coarse perlite mix topped with 2" of perlite.  Those two are outside on my potting shelf and the baggie ones are in my desk on top of the printer.

Good Deal Suzi!! They are nice looking cuttings, got my fingers crossed for you! Keep us informed! ; )

They're truly are beautiful. Best of luck with them. 

Oh Suzi, come on, from Spain, we know what they are, but we won't say either, no jinxing from here. Good luck and good growing.

Spanish Brown Turkeys that produce white and dark figs on the same tree and are not attractive to gophers, squirrels, and birds while producing the large and tasty figs all season long!  I wish you a great luck with them!

I am starting to believe too that normal outdoor conditions with high day temps and low night temps are
Somewhat better than controlled temperature.

Congrats!
I got cuttings that rooted and opened buds in transit ;-)

Good luck Suzi!!!
they look awesome!!!

Those look awesome.......good luck with them

they look fantastic, 1 year old wood. green and vital. take care of them , I wish you the best :)

They do look really good Suzi. Best of luck rooting them.
We are all "rooting" for you

Yes, they look great!  Good luck with them!

I guess all they needed was a little heat.  It's around 100 degrees in the sun and 90 in the shade (which is where they are).  Two of them have tons of roots.  The one on the right has leafed out, and the one on the left has a couple very green shoots pushing through the parafin tape.  Today they were potted in 1 gallon containers.  They are under the deck but will be getting used to the late Western sun as it peeks through the slats in the deck structure.

 
Here you can see the leafless one bursting through it's Parafin wrap in two spots!

 
The other two cuttings were in sphagnum moss in the house.  Still green and viable, so now they are getting the same treatment as their siblings.  Both in plastic water bottles with drainage holes in damp potting soil / perlite sitting in the potting bench sink in the shade.  I expect them to root in the next couple weeks.  These are Baud's Sucrette, and I just put 3 Longue D'Aout cuttings in the sink with them.

I understand that the Sucrette is vigorous to grow, but slow to produce figs.  We shall see.

I know you are thinking I planted them in straight Perlite.  No.  They are in a mix of compost, perlite, turface and potting soil.  Damp, not wet.  I put an inch of perlite on top to discourage any fungus gnats hanging around.

My Sucrette (Baud) is putting on figs in it's 2nd year in a container.  I did pinch one or two of the shoots so that might have helped.  From my understanding it is not supposed to be a really long season variety so I'm pretty sure I should be able to taste this one while the weather is still warm.  One thing I noticed with this plant is the nodal distance is the longest of all the varieties I grow.  It is a relatively strong grower - has a bit of fmv but not enough to slow it down.
