Dormant season is best time for cutting scionwood and Jon @Encanto farms list the ones he has available and the costs usually around the first of February. Others list them on ebay during the winter.

Welcome Willofig! What do you have to exchange? I won't have any cuttings until my figs go dormant in a couple months, but, what do you give in exchange?

Welcome to the forum! I just started this spring. I have LSU Purple if you would like to trade when they go dormant. __________________ Jo-Ann DFW TX, Zone 7b-8a Wish List: Black Madeira,, Kathleen's Black, Malta Black, Marseille VS Black, White Paradisio, LSU Scott's Black, Conadria, White Trianna, Marttineca Rimada, Excel, Peter's Honey, Bebera Preta (Abebereira), Strawberry Verte

Willofig, it would help us to help you if we knew your planting zone. If you click on the control panel at the top, you can edit your signature and put your zone in there so it auto shows on all your posts. I see you are in zone 6, Cleveland, OH in your first post, but if you put that in your signature then you never have to say it again! Do you have a history with figs? We love to hear stories!

If any of you notice that my wish list just shrunk, it's because a few kind members have offered me cuttings of some I didn't dream I'd ever have! This is a very generous forum, and I hope I can reciprocate in kind! Suzi __________________ Zone 9b, Southern California. "First year they sleep, Second year they creep, Third year they leap!"
