Ronde de Bordeaux Died - Anyone have any cuttings?

Happy Friday Everyone!

I was actually going to post a thread about cuttings suddenly dying. I've lost all three of my RdB cuttings I started in early January for unknown reasons. Does anyone have any extra cuttings from pruning or have any to spare?

Thank you so much and have a fantastic weekend!

Best regards,

Jlee, contact me I have some. 

JLEE DID THEY ROT. IF SO USE A SOILESS MEDIA THAT IS NOT WET JUST DAMP PUT IN CLOSED CONTAINER AND DO NOT WATER FOR ALEAST 15 DAYS. Also wash in bleach water for 30 seconds. (10%) before rooting. Little water is needed to root this is key. I killed lots of cutting from moisture issues. Water = mold=rot= death. Richie from louisiana zone 8

If it makes you feel any better, I started about 8 RdB this fall. I had 100% success rooting and transfer to cups. Then I had the genius idea to set the humidity bin outside on a cool overcast morning. By the time I realised that the sun had come out, the thermometer in the bin hit 120F. All died.

My goodness. The EXACT thing happened to me. 

Sorry JLee, I have small established RdBs, but I see you are in CA and I can't ship there.

I don't think California has any restrictions on fig cuttings

It never ceases to amaze me, the kindness members show here! : )

Very generous members, can't beat the giving nature where very few members will only sell.

My RdBs all succumbed to the gnats after having rooted so beautifully in December!  My condolences, Jlee.
