Here's a video. A lot of people do this but there are many ways. #t=111s __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

We do have a vineyard, so propagation is a no brainer to me. Grapevines want to live, and so do figs. All plants are the same. Get the thing in water, first, and maybe take a slice off the bottom to encourage water uptake. Then strip all the leaves, and cut the top one in half. A plant without roots will die if it is trying to support leaves with no roots. Be patient and let the roots grow. Yes, stick it in a growing medium. Differing opinions on this, but it is a green cutting, so wrap it in damp (not dripping wet) soil of your desire, and leave it alone in a shady place.

You have to use a soil that drains well. the roots need moisture and air to survive. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

It's definitely a nice looking fig. Once you get ripe fruit post pictures of the leaves, the ripe fruit, the inside of fruit cut from stem to eye and someone will help you. Best to start a new thread. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.
