Recently got amazing quality cuttings from these members. I wish I had taken photos to post, but too late now since they are already in 32 oz clear cups in the home made rooting mixture. Most of the cuttings were much thicker than a sharpie and super long! In fact I cut some of them in two, still with at least four nodes on each .They were all so fresh and super healthy! Thank you, Shirley and Bill. __________________ Rockland,NY-Zone 6-B

Glad it worked out well. That's a smart way to go, start of with some inexpensive cuttings until you figure out what rooting method works best for you. Good luck with them. __________________ Bill Long Island (Nassau) 7a,NY Wish List: Sicilian Red, RdB, JH Adriatic, Sal's EL and any fig from Bari.

I received very nice cuttings this week from Saxon fig. I have not planted them yet, so I could take some pictures to post. __________________ Southern Missouri, Zone 6 Kim Just good tasting cold hardy figs in zone 6.
