Greetings fig enthusiasts! I posted this week about the simple rooting method which I use. Well I had a few cuttings die so some of them I removed and reused the pots but some of them I just sat aside and forgot about. Well I was just moving those pots and I pulled up a dead cutting that was completely dead but had a baby offshoot that had some roots on it! When I say the cutting was dead it is completely brittle and rotted but yet a baby fig shoot? Wow! Then I moved a couple more pots to find that they were anchored to the ground with long roots. These were also dead fig cuttings, I mean they are rotted and everything yet somehow these figs still produced tiny shoots beneath the soil and roots. Also keep in mind that these pots have all frozen a few times outside unprotected yet THEY LIVE! Just thought some of you would appreciate this story.

Maybe the freeze killed the rot long enough for the cuttings to put out roots.

Technically they rotted about 6 months ago though. I literally checked each cutting and placed some back in the pots and forgot about them.
