Unnamed Italian Honey type rooted cuttings to trade!

I took over 100 cuttings from an unnamed Italian Honey type fig. I cleaned them in bleach solution, scraped them 3x just a above the lowest node, dipped them in Dip N Grow, and set them in sphagnum moss 4 weeks ago. When I took them I figured I would keep them all for myself but after following the forum for a month or so I started thinking. I'm sure there must be many people with unnamed rooted figs out there this time of year. I wish I had a picture of the parent fig but I don't. It is about 12'x12' growing in NJ zone 6 for over 10 years unprotected, so it is very hardy. I would like to trade for other unnamed rooted figs. I realize named varieties are more valuable so I will trade 2 for 1 on those. I assure you these are very tasty or I would not have taken so many cuttings. They are 2-3" light lemon color and very sweet with a closed or mostly closed eye. When very ripe they do produce a drop of honey. My cuttings are at least 3 nodes from 6-12" long and 3/8 - 1 3/4" wide. I will ship them with sphagnum. They are ready to be potted up. I use a 50 50 mix of Pro Mix HP and pine bark mulch sifted through 1/2" mesh. I am waiting for my shipment of 4 x 4 x 9" tree pots to pot these up. Send me a PM and let's trade!

The picture represents just a sample. Please specify the approx size you would like, length and width. I am keeping the terminal ends as I have already potted them up because they started sprouting leaves. Some have more roots than others, let me know if you want more or less. (By less I mean that the cutting has swollen all along the scrapings but has not exploded yet like the one in the picture) Most have roots similar to the picture.

I wonder what type it is, what color is the inside?

Sorry I don't remember. Amber I think, but when I was eating them I wasn't paying attention to the color. Now that I'm more aware of the the differences in figs I will pay more attention when I run across other figs.

I started this post looking for a straight trade of my rooted unknown for other rooted unknowns.
But not everyone has that so I could trade for:

_ # of rooted cutting/s for your _ # of _
1) 1 for 1 rooted unnamed
2) 1 for 3 unrooted unnamed
3) 3 for 1 rooted named
4) 1 for 2 unrooted named

Or cupped up (mine would not be completely rooted through for a week or 2)
5) 1for 1 unnamed
6) 3 for 1 named

Or make me an offer. Send me a PM
