This amazing tree was pruned and i have many cuttings to share. Did you see inside the car also!

Sunday EDIT:

The cuttings are from an no-protected tree in nasty Seattle Weather, it sits in the east side of a tall house, getting not much light from very near by houses - The only sun it gets is that morning sun,  believe me, we donot have many morning suns in Seattle.

All I am asking is, those interested in receiving the cuttings, is to compensate for postage.  I'll send regular USPS no track, and everyone gets it, about $3 for 2-3 cuttings.

I will pack  today, there is no room in my refrigerator for all these cuttings, please claim yours.

2nd EDIT:

Please indicate if you want more than 3 cuttings, and I will use the post office flat rate box full, that is about $6. Your choice, I just chopped the branches and have more than 50 juicyand healthy cuttings, with some looking like could easily be instant trees, but not sure how to ship those, would need a larger box. From now, I have them in a bucket with water, in my basement. Tonight, I want to get them all ready to travel early next week.


MONDAY EDIT- OVERWELMING RESPONSE - so many packages to process and close.  I still have many more to finish - so many PMs that becaming a bit confusing for me, please be patient with me. I should have been more prepared, but I did not cut them the same size, so, making individual wrapping is time consuming. I  will pick up more flat rate boxes at the Post Office today.  I am very short in cash for over 60 packages, even at $3 and $6, it adds up, so, please send me the postage as soon as you can.  Hope everyone will receive them by the weekend.  They are properly stored  and well cared for now.  

DESCRIPTION: No pictures of the leaves of the  fruits of this tree, but  this is is how the owner describes them, other than this, we'll have to wait and find out:

"They are Adriatic figs and they look just like the ones in this photo.

Happy Easter!

Hey Grasa it's night time in your picture. Was it a hit and run? :)

No.. not hit and run! Funny, huh? Actually quite challenging to get them. The house sits on a slop, soil is very wet and dark between houses to retrieve them. I made several trips down to the tree. My dear boss told me to come and get them asap. I could only go at night time. Cool thing it I got to also meet a Forum member Nichole, her husband and one of her stick muncher. She also got to meet the tree.

Grasa tried to send me home with enough huge cuttings to start my own Adriatic forest ;)

The location I met Grasa is in my own neighborhood. The house is one I've always admired for its colorful exterior - but when I walked into the back to see the tree I was really surprised. The tree is HUGE and the shape is gorgeous. A beautiful focal point for this back yard. Never had any clue such a treat was there all the times I walked by that house.

If I miss responding your PM or email, please re-send and include your address. I have a hard time keeping up with so many PM... moving all addresses to a word document.  If I responded to your contact, no need to re-confirm.  thanks.

Still quite a bit of cuttings.

Grasa, is it Adriatic JH?

It is a question many had, I really cannot confirm or deny if it is a JH, sorry, but does not have the mosaic virus!

PM sent Thank you

PM sent, thank you.

PM sent. Grasa, is it possible for you to post a photo of leaves? I am interested to see the shape.

Hello Grasa. I think you should put some on ebay or CL. To make some fig supply money.
  I dont think you will give it all away here so why not make a little money.

Grasa, I sent an email to you.
Thank You  : )

thanks pm sent

THE TREE 
i take it you dug the whole tree up ? or just got lots of huge cuttings ?
any picks of the tree? what type of fig is it ?

Thanks for a the effort and sharing. Looking forward to my cuttings

Grasa
This act of generosity is one of the great things about this community.  I will pass on the cuttings but I offer a world of thanks for your generosity, it is indeed a pleasure to be part of this community.

Remember, no good deed goes unpunished, LOL, LOL

Hi Grass Do you have a photo of the fig that produces?

mimi, please contact me, I remember reading a Pm from you, but may have deleted by mistake... email is grasab@gmail.com

Yue also and J. Cooks check your email!

Everyone else, your packages are going out today!  Let me know by PM you received. Good luck to all!

Most of the small cuttings are gone, but have a few 1" thick available.

[QUOTE=Figs4Life]Hi Grass Do you have a photo of the fig that produces?[/QUOTE]

And the leaves too, please.

See Edit #3 for more description of this fig.

Sorry, Grasa, take your time.

Review update about shipping and caring for them upon receiving them in my original post. If you are new at rooting cuttings, please review this website links about rooting.

I know this has been a real pane for you. How are you looking to be paid for your postage. Sent you a PM today. Hope everything is ok with me getting a set of cuttings. Hope to learn from this big job for you and someday pass cutting on myself.

Fourty eight packages of cuttings were sent out... Wouldn't be nice if most of them turn into trees?

Great job, Grasa!

They went to several states. Hope everyone is happy when they arrive.

That's really very nice of you Grasa.  Other than UCD, you are the next biggest sender of fig cuttings.  Now that's quite an accomplishment.

That is, indeed! 

Thanks again for a great gesture and huge undertaking.  depending upon snail mail you should recieve my payment today or tomorrow

I have a few more packages to go, so, if you saw this post ad want this fig variety, claim it now, so I can make just one trip to the post office for all of them together!

You know the drill,

Send me your name and address and tell me in PM how many you want $3 or flat rate of $5.80.

PM sent...glad to get some stragglers.  If not, oh well -- you snooze, you lose, right?

Thank you for all your trouble. And have a big smile to all.

Few more boxes are going out tomorrow. Now, I only have the lower portions 3/4 to 1" thick, if anyone is interested, I am happy to send them out.

THANK YOU  i recieved the cuttings today .................. Neptune on the way to you Grasa .

Some of you may have noticed the 'greening cover', yes, that is moss that grows on everything around here due to all the rain we get. you should give them a bath in soap w little bleach before putting them in sweat chambers to root - I don't think the moss is an issue, I root mine with it, but I wash them - there were too many cuttings to deal with here, so I did not do anything to them prior to sending, except I kept their main trunk in a bucket with water to hydrate them.

Many thanks again recieved mine yesterday evening after work they are now tucked away at the top of the fridge.

Recieved mine in today's mail. 
Thanks again Grasa ....... "You Da Man"

Thanks so much for all the cuttings.  I really appreciate it and hopefully can learn to root with them.

thanks so much
goss

Thank you so so much for my cuttings.   They look fabulous.  I'm excited to have a chance to plant one of these in Ohio.

RinaFromOhio

Received mine yesterday. THANKS again!

Some are taking too long to get to their destination! Wish you are all happy as I am with mine. 

Got my cuttings yesterday Grasa. Thanks again.

I received my cuttings last week in fine shape! Thanks again for getting me started.

Ben

Good luck to all... mine are starting to form little eyes... love it!

Hi Grasa 

I sent you a pm i was wondering if you have any cuttings left. 

Thank you

I have received my cuttings. Thank you very much I really appreciate that  : )

Hi! Grasa,

How are you? First I would like to say thank you for kindness. My name is Tam. Please let me know if you still have Adriatic Cuttings available. I would like to have 6 Adriatic Cuttings. Please let me know your address so I can send the money to you. This is my email: anlacpham@aol.com. Thank you. 

Sincerely,
Tam

Wow Grasa!  I take my hat off to you.  You did amazing work here! I shake my pom poms at you and cheer! *shake shake shake*

Grasa,

The cuttings you sent have sprouted roots after only 10 days in the moss!  The largest/thickest one (about 1 inch in diameter) showed roots of almost an inch yesterday, and today the next largest two also have them.  I’ve never had cuttings with such a willingness to grow--I hope it’s a sign that they'll be vigorous enough to do well in my climate here in northern WV.  :)

Thanks again for undertaking this project.  I appreciate your kindness.

So glad to hear, Mimi... keep us updated. It was not an undertaking at all. The most difficult was to put the cash out for postage...but I am so greatful that all 58 people who received them already send me the postage...  and some even sent me tip, which was very nice and appreciated.  Mine are also rooting like that, that is why I grafted a few varieties on those fatties.  I still have a few (fatties) to share.

Hi! Grasa, how are you? I received my cuttings this afternoon. Thank you.

Best,
Tam

Hi Grasa,

Just a follow up on the Adriatic cuttings you were so kind to share in April.  I had put a few in the refrigerator and did a late rooting attempt in July.  To my shock the cuttings were screaming to get out of the moss 14 days later.  As you can see below, there was no problem with root growth!  Now, if I can just move them up successfully, is the question.  

For a first timer, I’ve had my share of disasters this spring.   At first, I figured I was god’s gift to fig propagation.  Everything rooted!  Heck, I could root a Popsicle stick!  Then, three weeks into the cups and everything seemed to go to hell in a hurry.  Looking back, autopsies on many victims, bla, bla, and it appears I made all of the typical beginner mistakes.  Others have written the gory detail in previous post…. too much water, etc.  !   I should get an award too, for the gnat farm I had going…..urgh.  Totally took over, they did!   Also, think maybe I had too many cuttings going to keep up on also!    I just feel bad that I lost many cuttings that were so generously given to me by other forum members.  Not all a loss though, I figure!   While I’ve learned so much (the hard way), I’ve had considerable successes and some beautiful fig babies going.  Despite failures I’ve enjoyed the experience overall and looking forward to next year’s cutting season!

Here a photo of the Adriatic rooting monster mentioned above, plus one of your early Adriatic cuttings that escaped the gnat invasion.  Thanks again for your generosity…….

Thanks for sharing. I wonder how many of those cutting made it out there. Your plant looks very good, should produce fruit next year. Must be that hot Cali's sun. Mine are not that big.

Grasa, Thank you for some really nice cuttings a while back! I have 3 that grew 2-3 ft tall and going! Plus 2 with grafts. I was wondering if anybody has seen any figlets yet? Mine do not have any ... What color is inside and outside?

Bump...
Does anybody still have the Grasa's cuttings?...

I do. However I kept mine in a smaller pot too long. As soon as I put it in a bigger pot it shot up 3 ft. That thing is on steroids!!!!!!!!!! lol How did yours do?

I have one gallon plants.

I have many.  They almost all rooted.  I gave some away and still probably have at least 5-8 of them even after giving some away.  Lost count.  I have figlets, but none ripe.  Next year will have some ripe ones for sure.  

I have several don't know how many now and put them up for the winter.  Most are still in 1 gallon pots but I think I had up potted a couple to maybe 3 gallon.  They were looking good when I put them up last week.
