Lots of roots!  All of these cuttings are from members on this forum.  Thank you!

So show us the next phase!

Suzi

Rooted cutting all potted up with the rest.  48 trees total, most from this year, plus three Jolly Tigers and 7 1-node Black Madeira cuttings upstairs makes...  58 fig trees!

Great job. I love it when it all comes together.

I am green with fig envy. Keep up the good work.

Those look very healthy!

Great job!!!!!

Thanks everyone!  That little cluster of lush green ones are last year's figs (also all from members here) fresh out of dormancy.  Last year I got into the game at the tail end of 'cutting season', so I was just rooting any fig I could get my hands on.  I even went to the nursery and bought a brown turkey!  

This year was a totally different story.  I was prepared with a list of varieties I wanted--thanks largely to f4f--and ready to pounce when they showed up.  So in theory next year these pictures will be much more rewarding, and next summer there will be fruits!  

The 1-year old trees will get much larger pots after we finish this dreadful move at the end of this month that I am not looking forward to at all.  :-(

Those are some nice strong and healthy looking roots. Best of luck to you.

Black Madeira rock wool cubes are all stable and rooted through the cubes.  4/6 survived.  Three are still acclimating to soil which I gauge by how filled their cups are with roots.  


One is out in the dry house air and stable, also pictured the original Lyndhurst White I had been experimenting on with the method earlier and the two Sicilian Reds.  That brown burning on the leaf I believe to be pH burn from pouring tap water into the rock wool cubes.


Here's the Black Madeira that was rooted at the same time in a sphagnum root box:


All of the cuttings that went into root chambers in February had to stay put a little longer than usual due to us moving.  These Panache segments from Jon did not want to separate from their tangled cluster.  These were rooted with tried and true sphagnum boxes and Clonex rooting gel.


This next photo is the first half of my shipment from Jon's cuttings this year.  This group has a lot of real gems that I'm very excited about.  They have received what is in my current opinion is the best of both worlds between root boxes and cup method.  They were all rooted via scarification + Clonex + sphagnum chambers and once they shot respectable roots they were moved into these clear cups with domes to fill out the cup with roots and shoot some leaves before they brave the lower humidity that they will eventually live in.  I think this will fare better than anything I've done so far because until now I have had great success getting them to root but have lost many due to drying out after potting them up.  It's a work in progress.  


And here's all the rest of the figs recovering from the move.  I just got the HPS lamp back up an hour ago so I'm really hoping to see them sprung back to life in the next few days:

nice roots .
seems like they like he sauna.

Very nice Greg!  I hope they all continue to stay healthy.

Wow that's a lot of roots, looks very healthy
Congratulations on your newborn! Lol

Thanks for showing what your doing with your young ones.
