My local fig buddy called and said "A guy over in Shreveport is taking down two fig trees, do you want cuttings?"  I said "What are they?" He said "Celeste and Genovase Nero (GN)"  Of course I wanted them.  Went today got a truckload, going back this afternoon for another truck load.

They are not GN but I don't know what they are, good fig, HUGE!  Good tasting fig.

Any input as to what they are would be appreciated.  I may put some up for sale to members.

Not the greatest pictures, I will post leaf pictures later today.

Be sure to strip the leaves ASAP, otherwise it will suck sap out of the cuttings and reduce their viability.  I personally like to dip my cut ends in beeswax, but I know not everyone does.  If you are selling cuttings I would definitely be interested, I've heard good things about Celeste and I always love new figs (especially unkowns).

Looks like a good find, glad you could save the tree. Do you have any rooting experiments planned for all those cuttings?

I root in sphagnum, in cups, in a warm, high humidity environment.  I have experimented with different methods, this works best for me.
