Here are pictures of my fig trees.  First is a Kadota, bought from ebay, but I'm pretty sure its from a member here - George from NJ.

Its doing really well.  Cant tell from perspective, but thats a really big pot thats in, about as deep as a 5 gallon bucket, but I'd say close to 2 foot across...



Second up is an Italian Honey Fig, bought from an ebay sale - starfishgirl (ebayid)



Last up is a cutting (only one I could get to root from UCDavis) this one is a Col de Dame, had 3 others that were Kadota, but 1/4 aint bad, esp since if I had to pick, its the one I wanted the most to take.  I did the wrap in paper towel/plastic bag method - it went nowhere.  Tried rooting hormone - didnt help any, either.  Finally decided to resnip the ends and retry the bag.  the Col de Dame took!  Pity the cup (a 7-11 slurpee cup) is kind of shaded, but you can see good root development.  I like this kind of cup, because it has a domed lid, with a good sized opening - lets the cutting breathe a little, but keeps the moisture in, too.

 

Jackster,

Nice trees and good job with the rooting. You'll get better results with time and patience. I've used those dome lids also for the same reason.

Should I wait on repotting the one in the cup?  Root development seems really good, but I'm thinking I should wait until it leafs out a little bit? 

Thanks!

Hi Jackster

I would wait until the roots get at least near the bottom before potting it up.

But others might do it differently ?

Here is a couple of mine that I didn't pot up for a while after the pic. was taken

Jackster,

I agree, wait until you have some more roots. From what I can see in the picture, roots are coming along nicely, but if you wait a while, the cutting will be stronger and less likely to suffer transplant shock. Just do not wait too long that the roots are turning brown (watch the watering).
