Need Cuttings for Fig Class

It's that time of year again.  I'll be teaching my semi-annual fig class in early spring and I'll need cuttings to give the students to root.

A big shout of thanks to all who donated last year.

I have cuttings from my Hardy Chicago to give out but if anyone wants to donate cuttings to the cause I'd be delighted to use them.  To be practical I'd need 10 - 40 cuttings of a variety suitable for a first timer to root. Cuttings should be between 1/4 and 3/4" in diameter with over 3/8" preferred.  They should be at least 6" long although 8" - 10" is preferred.

Last year 90% of the cuttings took root.

Thanks to anyone who wants to help.

When do you need them?

I have many trees that will be ready to offer cuttings next year. Please make note of my handle and private message me when the time comes.

Robert, I can easily come up with 40 cuttings of Desert King for your fig workshop. 

Will it be in April again?

I'd be willing to buy some of those cuttings. I'm in Toronto, Canada. Does that work for you? But of course the school comes first.

Rcantor, PM me if you can use any Alma, Brunswick or Celeste cuttings.

Wow! I'm surprised at how low your overnight temps get given how far south you are....

Hey Bob I am able to get you as many Improved Brown Turkey cuttings as you would like. It was great to participate in this wonderful community outreach last year. PM me how many you need. Best, Jodi
