Hi Figfinatic,
Stop cheating! Move to Zone7 ! :P
With hormones, getting roots is fairly easy, the main problem is now to get those roots in use.
Good luck !
As a reminder, and because I try to avoid chems, with fig tree cuttings, you don't really need rooting hormones ...
A neighbor gave me green cuttings 3 weeks ago - Because they are green cuttings I doubted that they would ever do anything but rot and shrivel . I put them in a
pot with compost in my tomato greenhouse. They are already breaking buds - Of course, don't you ask me about the roots - but they should be fine because of the growth I see.
My problem now is what I'm going to do with those ... Well I'll stay on the lazy method : let them stay in that greenhouse until December.
In December, I will probably bury them in compost, and see how they fair come next Spring .
Panache is really a beautiful fig.
