Unfortunately I don't have a list made yet but figured I'd go ahead and see if anyone had any interest before all the time to list them. I have 2 plastic grocery bags of different cuttings. 1-3 of each variety for the most part. This has probably 8-10 sets of found or unknown figs also. Varieties are CdD B/N, Violette soleis, Preto, BM, Kathleen black, and so many more. I want to sale these all together or in as few shipments as possible. Anyone interested please let me know and I'll get a list for ya. I am not trying to make a bunch of money, just trying to not go in the whole with what I paid. I'm thinking around $2 per cutting or so. I'm not charging by the name/variety but a cheap price per cutting or set. I know nearly all the sources and they are basically all members here. I don't want these to go to waste so I want to sale them cheap to someone who wants them. Sorry for the long speech. Message me if you have any interest or questions.

I'm getting a lot of messages for people wanting just certain ones but remember the first person who wants them all will get them. I do not have time to sale them in small sets unfortunately. They will be cheaper than most or any other source. They have been wrapped in saran wrap and placed inside ziploc bags for probably 4 months in my veggie crisper.

I don't want any of them, but wrapped in Saran for 4 months in a Veggie Crisper doesn't sound like quality cuttings to me.  They must be cut fresh and sent fresh.  It appears you are reselling cuttings obtained from others.  You have KB on your wish list, but you are selling KB cuttings?  What is that all about?  Explain.

Seriously? Are you just trying to make things difficult or cause drama? I haven't been on here in months and months cuz I haven't had the luxury of enough free time. If you don't want them then is it necessary to tell us you don't? If anyone wants them then let me know. Considering I don't want much for them and the varieties you'll get someone may want them. I rooted a few about 3 weeks ago using the cup method.

Wow, those look awesome. Nice job. Did you get all to root? If not what percent did you get?

Thank you.  Out of 25, 22 have made it.  These were the last batch that I started.  They were all tip cuttings.  Some went straight into soil mix, some stayed in the moss/perlite combination until either roots or shoots (more often shoots) appeared and then were put into plastic bags made to size with plastic wrap and the Food Saver.   When roots started growing, I transferred them into the little black pots.  Having a lot of fun with the cuttings.

If you wrapped them iwould say they are fine but if you put in grocery bag they are surly no longer good. Refrigerator sucks the life right out of them.

Hobo I sent you 10 cuttings last november when I was running a test on the 3 cup method at the other forum. I sent you the best of what I have hoping you would get trees just for cost of shipping.
Never heard back about the 3 cup or how it did for you.
Now you have extra cuttings to sell? I sent you a KB  along with others wrapped in saran wrap.
I do not think Suzi was all wrong.
Lesson learned.

Doug

Don't cha just hate when that happens?  I had to input the date on the camera when the battery drained.  I'm bad a writing things down, so the dated pictures become my garden journal.  So, thank you for letting me know ;-)

Cheryl. Are you saying that the cuttings in the pictures are 5 weeks old?
I also smell something fishy

Hmmm.  I was wondering if that fishy was aimed at me.  No, nothing fishy.  Just looking for an opportunity to show off my little trees. 

Just so there's no question that these are current pictures of my rooted cuttings, with the correct date stamp, here they are with the three Green Ischia plants grown from cuttings  (in the lower portion of the picture).  The one on the right was grafted onto one of my trees just to see if it would take.  The plant on the far right is a Longue D'Aout rooted cutting.  The Ischia Green and Longue D'Aout were cuttings received from one of the members here in March.  The other varieties received from this member aren't totally dead, but they are very slowly coming along.
100_7608.JPG 
Since showing off got me here, here's my successful first attempt at grafting a fig cutting.  Ischia Green on top of unknown grown in Chicago.
100_7610.JPG 

These cuttings were taken out of the refrigerator on May 1, 2016.  Today is June 11.  Of course they didn't come out of the refrigerator with roots or leaves.  When do you start counting how many weeks old a plant is?  If you start from the day you start the process, then these are approximately six weeks old. 

I've read through a lot of the posts on this forum in addition to digesting lots and lots of internet information.  I've got three varieties of cuttings purchased from Ebay each showing signs that they will be successful.  I've only had one set of cuttings that failed where every single cutting rotted.

I really have no reason to lie, and whether you choose to believe me is totally up to you.  At the end of the day, they're just plants.  Its fun and satisfying turning sticks into plants, but they are just plants.

Scfigfanatic, are you kidding me... you got banned from the forum and I emailed you even after that. What was the point in me posting when the person who did it was banned? Quite rude you automatically said that about me... Specially being you also never tried contacting me. Your experiment yielded 5/10 for me using your method exactly as you stated. You had all my contact information if you had any questions or cared of the results. But to be honest I also had no want to get involved with the drama you started on the other forum. So thats also why I didn't post my results but again you also were banned at the time and it wasn't exactly a post any one wanted much to do with. Anyway, sorry everyone but I don't appreciate that and wanted to say my peace. Post closed.

And btw, Doug was not banned. Wills deleted some posts of his (against his self written, high fallutin', forum rules) and Doug left. At least one of them has some self respect.

Hi there,
I just thought they were rooted in 2011 and nothing against you , sorry about the confusion and thank you for explaining . I believe all the other comments are towards the original poster. Your plants look fantastic by the way. All the best.

Camera setting. I didnt think anyone used cameras anymore. Everyone uses smartphones. Your cuttings are very healthy. And when stored proper in the fridge they can go a year. Maybe longer

Hobo not that you know anything about it but all my private messages and contacts all got deleted by the site admin then I got locked out of my own account.
I do not want a account there or my picture there, but wills refuses to remove anything. So it looks like I have a account. but I have no control over it.
I guess he needs the head count.

Me contacting you was not the deal.
As soon as you got the cuttings you said you was going to do the trial later.
Not at all what I asked for when I gave out the cuttings.
No reason for me to contact you.

So you got 5 trees for $6 shipping, your welcome.

Doug

If I could figure out how to date stamp my pictures on my reasonably intelligent but not as smart as an IPhone smart phone I'd use the phone's camera.  Until then, the old school camera it is.

Thanks for the helpful hints.  I do plan on posting pictures soon.
