I just pruned a friend of mines fig trees and probably have 5-10k cuttings. I am on my way back to southern Oklahoma with them all now!!! What are some simply ways to store this massive amount of cuttings???? I have a few ways that I know will work for me but I am always open to hearing what works well for others. I have a large unfinished built on addition to my house that may be ideal to store them in. Last years cuttings (about 1500) were put in charcoal mounds and only a few cuttings were lost but making the charcoal is a task and I'm not sure I have time to make enough charcoal to store them all in charcoal. I will use this method for some but would like to hear ideas/suggestions from the forum. Much of my time will be spent in preparing my nursery to plant come spring so again I'm looking for simple quick suggestions. Thanks.

Charlie needs to chime in, I believe he has an interesting way of storing them in Arkansas.

If I were in your position I'd go on Kijiji or craigslist and buy a cheap used refrigerator. Leave it in a garage or any easy place with power. Even outdoors if it's partially covered. A $50 fridge will store your cuttings until spring if you put them in plastic bags. Then you can either re-sell it or keep it if you plan to do this again.... I've never heard of using charcoal but many of us store in fridges.

What Joe said..

Lightly moist moss in big tub layered. Put lid on and keep cool in a shed or garage for winter. Will not root in cold tub. Not dry not wet moss. You can buy moss big bags of moss at hobby lobby. This is swamp moss found Louisiana swamps. When found alive it has natural rooting hormone and is great for rooting. :-)

How did you get rid of 1500 plants last year? Wow

Knowing how cold it will be in that addition will help us give you a good answer.  The best range for well llgnified, fully dormant cuttings in my opinion is 28 - 40.  If they're not fully dormant or still even a little green then 35-42 would be better.  Getting up to 45 wouldn't be a problem.  An oil filled electric heater set for 35 degrees works well for me in my garage.  When it goes down to 5 degrees it's able to keep the space at 30 - 35 without getting the figs close to it above 42.  If too hot is your problem then you need a way of cooling.  I know people who've added a thermostat to a chest freezer so it keeps a constant 35-40, wherever they set it.

Thermostat and chest freezer is the way to go if temps tend to be warmer than desired.

I wonder. Would a chest freezer drop its internal temp if temps outside of it were colder? I would want to keep it outside.
