I have four of them in fridge that i received that i have been waiting to root because of fear of failure. So i k ow how you feel. Lets see what others say. My best way is fill pot with good fast draining water put cutting in 2/3 of the way down and keep in green house. But there is about 50 other ways to do it!! Lol. I live in the south so depending were you lives plays a major factor richie __________________ RICHIE BONI HICKORY LOUISIANA ZONE 8B WARM HUMID WINRERS ARE VERY MILD LOW 20'S BUT WARMS RIGHT UP DURING THE DAY.

I've posted photos before, I have Martinenca Rimada growing in ProMix HP and it had grown well, not what I would say is a slow grower. I had planted it and three other figs in the ground in an area where none thrived (maybe due to a well that was drilled nearby and the effects of soil removed from the ground?), so it went back in a pot late this summer until I decide where to plant it next. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

Richard, send me two to root after this cold front passes. That way if yours fails I can send you one. :) __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.
