I started with cuttings from several fig trees in my garden. I placed them in a vase of water mid September and change the water once a week. To date, they have not sprouted any roots.  Also, have some in zip lock bags covered in wet newspaper. Still no success!    Any suggestions........Thanks....

Great - let me know when you want to swap cuttings! 

I am bringing two potted figs inside my house.  Do I keep watering them all through the winter months or just let them go dormant?

Hi Ed:
 
The Fig Fest event was good, even though it was cold and wet!  I have a question for you?
 
What do you do in the winter with all your potted fig plants?
 
Regards,

I'm a first time user in this forum!

I will be attending the Fig Fest tonight at 7:00pm with my better half.  I am bringing cuttings from seven of my fig trees - they are:

13 cuttings from my Black Mission Figs

13 cuttings from my Peter's Honey Figs  (++++The best++++)

I am also giving two (2) potted Black Mission Fig cuttings that were started early this summer........

See you all this tonight......
