I'll be cutting up my Sal's Corleone this coming week, it has grown too high and is close to the house so it needs a major haircut. I know I should have done this in the fall, but I was having some health problems and never got around to it. If anyone is interested in scion, send me a pm. I only ask for postage in return.    

I'd love a Sal's Corleone. I am relatively new to the forum and don't have the alphabets down yet. Tell me what a PM is and I will send it.

PM = Private Message. I just sent you one.

Hope you're on the mend Barry . . I've been fighting some stuff too.
Thank Science or God for modern medicine for sure.
as much as I want some scion . . I have enough for now . . be well

To those who sent me PMs and requested cuttings, and there were many of you, here is what the box of cuttings looks like and the tree after pruning. Hope I have enough for everyone!! I will start mailing tomorrow. 

Nice tree, let me get some of those fat ones!

You always grow your trees sideways  ?

Yep. I'm excited too!

No Martin, don't grow them sideways lol, just rushing to get things done forgot how to turn the pic. I am much better at growing stuff than operating a computer 

Ed,

I tried to mix fat ones or at least medium sized ones with a couple skinny ones for everyone. I really hope everyone is able to get something to grow, Sal's Colreone is a very good fig!! And for you and whoever else asked the source of my tree, it was from good ole George who purchased his directly from Belleclaire as he even sent me a label from Belleclaire to confirm that is was the real deal.    

Oh, one more thing, as there were so many packages to prepare I did not label any of them with the variety name, but you all know it is only Sal's Corleone, no other variety.  

Barry, it is a very nice looking tree. Do you recall how old it is?  

I believe I put it in ground 5 years ago, might be only 4. Purchased it the year before I put it in the ground as a young starter

Barry, Just sent Pay Pal payment

These are great looking cuttings

Thank you

Barry,

    I don't do PayPal, but just got the cuttings and will send payment regular post pronto! They look great. Some even looked like they had brebas starting, so they got rubbed off.

Thanks everyone who has sent postage reimbursement. I will get the last few late requests out in a day or so, didn't have a chance to get to the post office yet this week.

Ok I just mailed the last few requests out. I did get a lot of requests and it's possible that I inadvertently passed over someone so if you don't get your package in the next couple days, please let me know.

I received the Sal's Corleone cuttings today and they are very nice.  The postage reimbursement will be mailed tomorrow.  Thanks again, John

A month later... Here are 4 growing cuttings of Sal's Corleone from you. That is sweet Devil Boy helping.

Two of the cuttings definitely have observed roots (marked with toothpicks with gold tops), and the one with the large shoot that is actively growing most likely has roots too. The cutting with two shoots are from two buds.

Hopefully these will be bearing trees by next year.

Thanks again for the cuttings. :)

Hi Gina, That is great! Glad to know you are having success with them. Thanks for the pics. Love the cat, is Devil Boy a Flame Point Siamese?

Devil boy looks like a flame point, but he is a mutt. His mom was a tortoise shell with strong tabby overtones, and his father was said to be siamese. His real name is Blondie, but Devil Boy seems to fit him better some of the time. I got him at 1 year old after he was put up for adoption by people who could no longer deal him. He is much calmer now and bites and scratches much less, thank goodness. When I got him, he actually scared me at times. No longer. :)

Anyway, he crashed the cutting photo scene, and it was cute, so I posted it here. Bottom line - Sal's Corleone cuttings doing well, I'm happy.

I'm happy for you...and Devil Boy 

It's been over a month and it's time for another update.

These 3 are now living outside mostly in the shade, but getting some sun for acclimation. There is a bit of water on the leaves causing the reflection. I don't know if these are the same cuttings as in the previous photo in post #20 since my cuttings get moved around as their status changes. None have died, so the 4th is somewhere... :)  So is Devil Boy, who currently is napping. :)

Your plants look really good.  They are much further off than mine.  What soil mix did you use to root them? I'm curious because out West I don't see ProMix which people say works well.  I just put them in half MG moisture retention soil and half perlite.  They were outside in 90-100 degree weather.  It worked great on most of my cuttings, but not these.
