Dormant season is best time for cutting scionwood and Jon @Encanto farms list the ones he has available and the costs usually around the first of February.
Others list them on ebay during the winter.

Welcome Willofig!  What do you have to exchange?  I won't have any cuttings until my figs go dormant in a couple months, but, what do you give in exchange?

Welcome to the forum!  I just started this spring.  I have LSU Purple if you would like to trade when they go dormant.

Welcome, Willofig! How do you plan on growing your figs?

I plan to put them in contaners and the more hardy ones in ground well protected.

Willofig, it would help us to help you if we knew your planting zone.  If you click on the control panel at the top, you can edit your signature and put your zone in there so it auto shows on all your posts.  I see you are in zone 6, Cleveland, OH in your first post, but if you put that in your signature then you never have to say it again!

Do you have a history with figs?  We love to hear stories!

Will, when all your cuttings come in let us know. I should have several extras and can send you something.

If any of you notice that my wish list just shrunk, it's because a few kind members have offered me cuttings of some I didn't dream I'd ever have!

This is a very generous forum, and I hope I can reciprocate in kind!
