A few cuttings left. PM me if interested. I know there's one more person out there who wanted them but thought you missed out. This is your chance.

<p style="margin: 0px;">A friend asked me to help an elderly lady who's 8 yr old fig tree needed pruning.  I'm no expert but I certainly can see where branches cross and aren't getting enough light and I know to cut down to a node facing the way the next branch should grow.  So I took out the obvious stuff and told her she could have some plants to pot or give away but she didn't want any of them.  So now I have a few dozen cuttings from last year's wood.  She said it was a dark fig with a light interior that she bought from One Green World.  Looking at their catalog she said it was either a VBT or Black Spanish.  OGW said from the description it had to be a VBT.  So 90% chance of them being VBT, 10% Black Spanish.  Jon, I notice you don't have a VBT.  You get some free for putting up with me if you want them.  Last time I sent out cuttings I lost $$ on PP fees, so this time you have to send $8 for 3 cuttings and I'll ship priority mail.  First come, first served  :)  </p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;">Send PP goods so I get a printable label</p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;"><img border="0" hspace="0" alt="" align="baseline" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-EXAL7f0R1j8/T0nWbfjuJYI/AAAAAAAAEgE/lnZloq_pTfw/w913-h126-k/email.jpg"></p>[B][/B]

<p style="margin: 0px;">PM or email but I wouldn't trade a VBT for another VBT.  I'm trying to send excess fig wood to people who want to grow them.  I certainly don't need any more.  </p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;">  no cuttings left. Sorry. </p>

And folks, please just send PP.  No need to message me.  I have dozens of these.  If I run low I'll post it here.  This tree hadn't been pruned for 8 years.  There's a lot of 8" cuttings.  If you want more than 3 let me know in the PP message.  Add 0.50 per cutting.  No more than will fit in a small priority flat rate box but a dozen will fit easily.



Hi RC ,

I have sent you PM.

Thanks and Best Regards

All I know is at the above link.  I've never seen a fig I just pruned someone's dormant tree.  3 cuttings are $8, PP info is above.  The smaller cuttings are left but I planted a 2", 2 node cutting half the width of a pencil.  At 2 wks it has leaves but no roots yet.

I rooted a few cuttings so tiny I wouldn't send them out.  1 or 2 nodes, half the thickness of a pencil.  I'm home now and looked at all the cuttings.  The smallest ones already have roots.  A few others have leaves.  They were rooted the same day or soon after I posted here.  Pretty fast!

Great! I've never done a mass mailing of cuttings I've taken before. Jon's cuttings know how to behave but I was afraid mine wouldn't. Glad to hear you've had some success. :) I do have a vey small number of cuttings left. Whoever wants them let me know
