Very nice. Thats a lot of air layers. What are those white containers you have them in? What size are they. Looks perfect for keeping those roots cool.

~those containers i get from our red lobster,they get butter in them i am guessing 3 quart size maybe one gal. yes they work great and are free. they get butter in them,and they get ice cream in one gal buckets ,all containers have snap on lids also,just start asking food stores and restaurants they will save you containers most times if you ask,

I was looking at your containers too.  Your square bucket looks like something I got from Sam's Club a couple years ago.  I finally ran out of buckets with this fig addiction and I'm having the hardest time finding stores that give them away now. 

Congratulations on the "new additions to the family" ;-)

The square ones look similar to cat litter buckets I have used before.

Very nice work Chuck! Lots of new baby trees for you there :) By the way, I checked on your S Verte AL yesterday, but it still needs a little more time.. Will definitely be done in time before the season ends though.. Happy fig growing! :)
