I bought some cuttings awhile back from a etsy seller USA Garden. They were priced very reasonably, they are all growing Im wondering now if the person is a trusted seller or not? Does anyone have any experience with this seller?

No idea if the seller is honest or a scammer providing cheap, common cuttings substituted for 'named' varieties but the fact that the cuttings you purchased are growing puts them one up on some of the eBay scammers that are noted for sending people dead wood that rots on contact with growing medium. I suspect that you will need to grow them out fully and fruited before you will know if the cuttings received are true to form. A good indicator would be a variety that has specific, verifiable attributes if you acquired any such. Panache for example... at some point, that plant should show striated /striped wood and/or figs since that is a notable characteristic; there is no mistaking this yellow- and green-striped fig. If it doesn't then that would indicate that you received the proverbial pig in a poke instead of Panache...

I did order Panache, and two other varieties. They all seem to have different leaves. Ive been looking for the striated wood, havent seen it yet but they are only a few months old. I just wanted to try my hand at rooting,before buying some more expensive varieties. I guess Ill find out thanks for the response!!

William... I truly hope they are true to form for you.... i did take a look at the site and the varieties offered and the prices are attractive... If they are aggressive growers for you than that is already a positive....
