I remember when I first posted pics of my cuttings, someone said something to the effect that I had one winner and two maybes on my hands.

Looks like you called it.



The third one (not pictured) is also scrawny, like the one on the left. I just gave it to my folks. The remaining scrawny one if going to the boss.

Guess who gets the overachiever? ;c )

The other things are baby tomatillos.

No reason the one who did all the work shouldn't have the pick of the litter!

So true! I only wanted one good one. The others were "spares"

Oh and check it out. I just went on a walk, and decided to take a look at the fig tree I took the cuttings from. Holy moly is it going crazy:



Look at the size of this bad boy - it's as big as a baseball!



There was the gnawed-on remains of one from last season just above it -- as big as a tennis ball!

Seems a couple other trees nearby are doing pretty well too. Maybe I'll get cuttings from them next year:

Nice looking pics.

Hi Grisscout,
here by me i can count fig tree siteings on 1 hand,   in Chicago there are more but hard to see as they are in protected yards out of normal view.

If i was you i would defintely go back to that tree (last 2 pictures) and see if there are any suckers growing on ground and ask owner for more info on that particular tree it probably will surprise you what he or she says about it.   ; )

Thanks loslunasfarms!

Dieseler - I see trees all over, here in Phoenix. These are all in the same general area, all from places located in Heritage Square, in downtown Phoenix.

The biggun, and the one where I got my cuttings, is at Pizzeria Bianco.

The next one, with the slightly elongated fruit, is at the Rose & Crown pub. It has LOTS of suckers growing up around it. I don't think they maintain it at all. I'll have to investigate growing from suckers.

The last ones are on two trees, outside the Science Museum.

Hi grriscout I will be visiting Phoenix later on this year if all goes well. My Niece will be attending college there and I also Have an Aunt in Phoenix. I had already put Pizza Blanco in favorites and my GPS 4-6 months ago when you first posted  and do have their web site. My question is who did you speak to to get cuttings? I'm not sure when we will be traveling yet as my niece doesn't have her golf and class schedule yet. If tree is not dormant maybe my niece can get some cuttings when it is for me. If the Pizza is as good as they say Ashley will be a very loyal customer that kid can eat pizza 8 days a week. lol
Thanks

Hi Sal,

I actually didn't speak to anyone, but grabbed them on the sly, when they were closed. ;c )

When you go to Bianco, stroll around the rest of Heritage Square, and you'll see fig trees tucked away here and there.

There are also several pomegranate trees planted around the parking facility, if you are interested in growing those. They can be grown from cuttings, but should be taken in February or March.

Also, if for any reason, you can't get into Bianco, give Pizza A Metro a try. So far, it is my favorite in the Valley.

Thanks for the info, I will also make note Of Pizza A Metro.

I think I need to drive up and visit Pizzeria Bianco.

Well my trip is planed for Sept 26- Oct 2 I was wondering if the pic of that large fig is from the tree at pizza bianco and if you got to taste the fruit I might have to bring a pair of clippers with me
