Hi thepodpiper,
You'll be busy !
Stand up, and check twice a day for roots, leaks, cleaning mold, chlorine level, temperature of the water, temperature of the room !
Thinking of all of that, I'm already tired... I need a coffee ...
Start planning pots, dirt, and free places everywhere, even in the bathroom ... LOL ...
Ok, let's face it. So many varieties in one go... I'm just jealous !

Nice cloner, good luck!

Looks great, good job. You have a nice setup. Confident all if not most will root. Keep the pictures coming. Thanks for sharing

Woohoo! Nice job!

You are off to a good start. Keep us posted.

You certainly are off to a great start as that is some list you have, especially since you only recently came down with "fig sickness" lol! So much for just "sticking your toe in" to test the waters first right? Lol I'm totally with ya on diving in head first though.. I went from 3 trees last June to rooting over 60 new varieties this winter and that figure will likely increase before the winter is done.. Geez this fig sickness certainly does not come on slowly does it? Lol good luck to you with all of them! From the sounds of it you already have a green thumb so I'm sure you will have quite a few new fig trees on your hands this coming spring!

I can take credit for giving him his first three! And I'm actually new to figs too! I decided to slow down though. I have about 20, and I'm not adding anymore. Ton's of great cultivars out there, and some really good ones, but I have no place to put anymore. I want to eliminate some at this point. Plus I'm excited about other fruit too. I have many young black currant plants, and scion wood up the wazoo to graft unto my fruit trees this year. The figs are hogging my lights for veggie starts too. Dale seems to have the room, and man I'm glad I don't else I may have just kept going!

Looking good!

Andrew, Andy, you are both enablers among others and I thank you all for it. Drew51, when I met you and your wife I thought I heard her say something about you should buy more lights and tear down the garage so you could accommodate more trees and berries.
