I just pruned all of my trees and will not have the space to root most of my available cuttings. I hate to waste good cuttings so I am offering most at 1 dollar a piece for them ( especially for newbies, but for anyone who loves growing figs). I am meticulous about labeling, so all of my cuttings are separated and individually labeled with whiteout markers. It is a good way to keep track of each variety grown. The cuttings have been washed, treated, and labeled. Below are the available varieties and the number of each available. I grow and have gotten fruit from each of them ( otherwise I wouldn't try to to sell them- I'm a stickler for authenticity first). The number and variety are listed below. I will update them, but send a PM with the order and I will go by order received. The shipping for each pack is 5 dollars. So the more you order, the cheaper it is on your end. Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks, Bill ( I can only ship to the lower 47 - no California)

Hi. I think I am sold out ( or at least time to process all of the orders). I will let you know if I will be offering any more, and I will be addressing each request in the order it came in. I wasn't expecting such a response, but it is nice to know we have so many passionate growers here. I am glad I didn't put them on eBay. Thanks, Bill.

Thanks for the nice comments. If you ordered cuttings, (and paid), they are in the mail. I can provide the USPS tracking if requested. This was a pretty cool experience. I will probably offer some more rarer varieties ( Izbat an Naj, rockaway green, a few Sodus Sicilian, as well as more Teramo and some others) next week. Thanks a lot for the positive experience, all!

I think we should rebaptize BigBadBill; he is such a generous man. I just received my cuttings and in the package there was this add-on Nexoe. My Danish friends and Scandinavians in Minnesota will never believe that I have a fig tree that originated from this small island (230 square miles) of Bornholm or otherwise known as Solskinsøen from the Baltic sea.

Many thanks Bill!
