I have cuttings that seem to be about to show root initials. I hope they grow figs like that.

Nice Frank. I might get a few from mine if they hurry. Critters haven't found my fig patch yet or they're afraid of the Vader-nator.

John..Yes, it's a very fast growing, and a tough tree! Mine in the ground, was froze to the ground level, we had 7 degrees F one night last Winter..When Spring came, these small green limbs came and now it's around 4 to 5 ft. tall with Figs....: )

Looking good! Hopefully you can fend off the wildlife and get a few more.
