Hi guys this is Kausik from Adelaide, Australia. Just to share the update on all the cuttings that rooted this year. So far collection wise this is the best year. Thanks to some great fig members, I can able to achieve some great varieties. Most of my cuttings rooted in sphagnum moss , then move into 50-50 perlite and potting mix kept in humidity dome. Finally in potting mix. 
Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do.
Now I have to wait to taste the food.
Take care,
Kausik

Nice photos, congrats on your success.

They all look very healthy.  Good luck with them all.

Nice trees i wanna ask about Melenzana cause i got cuttings a few years ago from a Italian guy,He told me Melenzana which means water melon cause off the shape,but after tasting the fig and the leaf shape im %100 its a black Mission i show some pics plus Lemon Lennie and R14

@ mocatta
are you sure that he was italian and not greek??? because its a greek word and the word is eggplant in greek.
and your fruit looks like eggplant... :-))

The guy that gave me the cuttings was Italian from Calabria he told me the cuttings came from Calabria years ago,but if u look at leaves and fig id say its a Black Mission.

Hi mocatta,
Melenzana is normally a synonym to "Longue d'aout".
The leaf could have been mistaken for the one of "Longue d'aout" ... But the fruit is really different on "Longue d'aout" .

I think Melenzana means eggplant in Italian as well. According to my source this tree produces big eggplant shape figs weighing around 120 to 150 gros. The fig is moderate in taste but huge to display. Only time will show me the true colour of this tree.
Macotta the R14 looks very similar to Archipal.

Andreas I thought you have a same fig called Vassana in Greece.
Thanks guys.

good job:)

Good work. Congrats!

Those are nice rooted cuttings.  They're all ready to start the summer, or, err, winter, err, or whatever you call the hot growing season down there ;-)
Cheers,
Jim

They are looking very good! With your summer approaching, they are going to grow beautifully.

In some of them, I would add mulching or more soil, so, more roots can form in the lower portion.

Best luck!

No question about it Melanzana in Italian means eggplant in some southern dialects it's called mulagnana

I have just been sent 2 figs said to be from Calabria ...a green and a black...must get them in their party cups...they all took root during their journey.

Good Luck, great job on these cuttings! :)

The original owner doesn't know the name kausikck76. But I will find out what village they are from.
I will have at least 4 to identify.
Something to look forward to.
