I said something on one of the forums about sharing the progress of those cuttings.  Let me post thsi thread with a couple of pictures of the cuttings - I had one of the Südliche root on the way here.  The other rooted 3 days later.  I had one of the two Bisirri root mid-week, and both 143-36 rooted last week and one shot a rootlet today, so those three are now potted up.

Following are some pictures...

Here is a picture of the Südliche, as it arrived.  6-7 rootlets, about 3/8" long or so.

Here are the 143-36.  One has two 1/4" rootlets + one 1/8" rootlet, and if you look closely at the other cutting, there is a 1.5mm rootlet pointing the same direction as the three others.  Both potted today.

Finally, here are the Bisirri #1 - you see how fat that rootlet is?!  It's almost 1" long, curved towards us (look at the shadow, you will see the curvature).

Its partner in the bag is the only cutting out of all that hasn't rooted yet.

Many are showing leaves now.  I will take pictures and update this thread in a couple of weeks when lots of top growth and root growth is happening.  I expect that all of them will survive to be little trees.

THANKS again for the cuttings.  Like so many I have met here, you are a kind soul, and I am always happy to return the favor if possible.

Jason real nice and thanks for taking the time to post pics. I'm curious if with all your varieties will you be planting in ground as they mature or do you plan on pot culture.

Pot culture.... one or two in the ground when I can find the space.  Any extras I have of various varieties are going to be planted throughout my neighborhood in yards of friends and neighbors who have the space.  I know this last part may sound crazy to some, but I'm thinking "bigger picture", and when you're in an area where a 1/6" acre lot is the norm, you gotta get creative ;)

One or two are definitely going into our community garden next year.

Oh, and two more pictures, from the Sudliche pictured in the root en route thread from a couple weeks ago.

Jason,
Excellent job. Glad to see that you are having, much success with those cuttings. Keep up the good work. Thanks for those photo's.

Keep the pictures coming really enjoy them.
Also look forward to the fig season and more pictures when they are potted .
Thanks for sharing the photo's.

OK, Martin, I know you love pictures, and I like to update chains so you can see time lapse of growth, so here you go ... more pictures of that same Sudliche cutting from 'root en route'.  Remember what the shoots looked like before?  THIS is why I don't care if shoots form in the bag, I wait for roots, or they don't get out ;)  A few initial leaves lost aren't as important as a few initial roots grown, IMHO


Lots of action on top, not as busy on the bottom, but the roots are good ones.

OH very nice Jason.  ; )
Yes there is no sense in rooting scion in a baggie if one takes it out with no roots and only shoots !
Thanks again for taking the time to share i know sometimes it does take time at least for me when computer runs slow and i wait and wait for thing to load.
Now when season is well underway i look forward to seeing many more pictures and of course posting some as well. Lots of fun and its getting close "spring" as the snow here is going away a lot quicker now with temps in high 30s and hitting into 40s tomorrow finally !

Oh, and for Ricci, here is one more picture of a 143-36 for you personally to see.  The rooting has been great, but buds are just starting.  This was the 2nd cutting to root, and was potted 4 days after the "root en route" cutting above.

Jason,
Fantastic work. Glad to see those roots growing. Can't wait to see them as trees later this season.

143-36 in a 16oz Starbucks cup, truly a bad attempt at wrap-around picture

Thanks for sharing your efforts Jason. I am doing as well as you are. I would like to read about the next step experiences of those who have nice roots and leaves. Obviously, I'll follow my garden 'instincts' on going from cup to nursery pot but it would be helpful (for me at least) to read more about it from the fig veterans who have gotten healthy plant in 1-gallon pots from those cups with nice roots & leaves.

JD I'm not an expert by far but have not had any problems going from cup to container. What I do is this and I'm sure you will hear many other suggestions. Make sure your container is clean and has been sanitized if reused

Strawberry, anyone?  Had to take a photo, this thing skyrocketed.
