Good Evening:
Again, It’s that time of year again where I need to trim the trees and send out cuttings for beginners wanting to build a unique collection.
Here is the list that I will send out this week. These are my own personal photos and I ask that they are not copied.
Jason’s Unk Black Ischia
O’rourke
Lloral
Malta Black
Ruby # 4
Pel De Bou
Nero 600
I'm asking $30 plus $7.50 for shipping and handling (this is a lot of work ;). Please don’t ask to add or subtract varieties. I do this in an assembly line and I make mistakes when I have to customize the packs. Hope you understand. Private message me if interested for Paypal info. When they are spoken for, I will post it as so. Please include your shipping address in the private message. You must be in the continental US. When possible I try to supply 2 cuttings although I can’t guarantee that on each variety. Each cutting should have at least three nodes. I make no claims that my figs are FMV free. I haven't had one yet (except my Maltese Beauty) that doesn't show signs of it in some way shape or form. Upon receipt I recommend re-cleaning the cuttings and separating the varieties into their own bag with moist moss.
Thanks for your contribution and good luck rooting these. It’s a good assortment that should give you a lot of pleasure growing and tasting.
I’m including 1 extra variety. It will be a surprise.
If all goes well I will do this again next week.
Thanks. Dan

I dip the cuttings into a weak chlorine solution and air dry before placing them in a small amount of long fiber sphagnum moss

You find that more effective than cloning? What temp do you keep them at and how do you regulate the moisture? Also where do you get your moss?
