It is a very GOOD thing experimenting with rooting fig leaves (and 
[root-sprouting] - another thread). Looking VERY forward for
some good credible results, from both. Believe me!
In the mean time, I'll stick to the more sure proven way of fig-twig
[multiple ways]  rooting them figs (F.carica).

Heck - next is (maybe) from the fig bark! I know that some (proven)
test-tube veggie tissue propagation is possible - but who has
all the knowledge/$$$/means to do that - NOT me!

The most  exoctic means I have witnessed, was some regular 1.5" sq.
36 unit trays (same as you buy summer Impatients  - no kidding).
2 node twigs, one node below soil for roots; the other above for leaves.

At that time, it did look as a solid 100% success rate. Yes, while observing, I did get
squirted with mist - right SQUARE in the face...

Howerer, they were in a little GH equipped with an EXPENSIVE
6/6 sec on/off daylight-misting-system. This was while visiting
Rutgers Unv. NJ (Cooper), and attending my Master Gardener program.
For the record, the fig in question was called Big AL (ukn Italian origin).
One or two of you fig_nuts may have gotten a spare rooting off my
"regular" twig  spare rootings ...

Hi Dan,
yes i heard that also. Some places do tissue culture on a large scale to sell to nurseries .
Sitting back enjoying the Louisiana Perique and Virginia blend in pipe my favorite for years. I usually light up a bowl when i go outside to look at the fig plants or water them, this morning i was doing some more cutting of the tips and staking and tying a few. Our temperatures will be in 80s this week , seems like the rain we have been getting i have not had to do to much watering yet but i think thats going to change very soon as mid july and august month tend to be more on dry side with steady 80s temperatures and sunny days. Hope to be able to post first ripe fig around August 25th if everything goes well.
