Don't know shelf life. That's why I make small soaps when using fresh fruit.

A fig scented essential oil could be used but I didn't have it. Soap works great

I used the melt and pour soap base. Cooked the pink part of fig in microwave until bubbly. Added fig to soap base. I used sugar cookie scent and a very small amount or red soap dye to mimic the inner fig color.

I have a few bags of cuttings that are doing great.  In one bag of cuttings, it looks like mold on them.  What should be done?

Yahoo.  I bought my first fig tree from a master gardener show about a month ago.  Planted, it's almost 3 feet tall.  It had one fig when I bought it.  Now it has about 6 baby figs just starting to grow.  What fun!  Of course, I have the 'want fig tree disease'.  I have a few cuttings and they are doing great too.

I'm new at figs. I bought cuttings of Texas blue giant and have a question about rooting. They are in a bag with moist paper towels doing great. They are showing a lot of root starts. One of the cuttings has massive amounts of roots the whole length of the cutting. When should this one go into 'soil'? What type of soil is best? Should it be placed horizontally to take advantage of all roots? Should it grow lots of shoots a this way?

I'm new to figs and have heard about the cuttings from UC Davis.  I went to their site and filled out the application, but at the end of the application it wants a message of how I put these to use in a research program.  Not quite sure what to say.  Can anyone make suggestions.

What a great story!  I have a friend that has a HUGE fig tree that produces dark purple figs.  She has no idea what type.  I'm brand new at figs, but asked her for a few cuttings.  All four are just starting to show roots.

I was given 5 cuttings from a friend.  I have no idea what type of fig.  Dark purple skin with pink inside.  4 out of the 5 cuttings are successful.  Now I'm hooked.  I have one Latarulla tree I just bought from our local annual master gardeners expo.

I'm brand new to figs and researching as much as possible.  I live in Southern Oregon.  Anyone know what grows best here?  I have no cuttings, but would be glad to pay for shipping.
