I had a pack of Excel cutting that I sold to someone but they were too long to fit in the envelope so I took a bit off the bottom of each of them.  Instead of throwing the bits away I put them in a bag of peat and forgot about them for a month or more.  At this point these are all growing nicely in 4 inch pots.


 

Pretty Cool, I Love it, Thanks for Posting.

Very good job..... Wish is that easy to do the cuttings rooting in my place..... Ong Indonesia Wish list : Any variety of fig tree .....

Great work! Just goes to show how eager these things are to live!

Looks like you may have some young Excel trees to trade this fall? Anything you might be looking for?

    That's always a great surprise to discover forgotten cuttings that have sprouted...enjoy, and have fun.

Very cool, something to remember..

Hi beyondista,
Are you giving them a pot (a chance) ?
Keeping them alive will still be a challenge, due to heat of the coming Summer and because of that whitish growth ...
Good luck !

It was actually pretty easy to harden them off and pot them up, I was surprised considering how tender they look at this point (this photo was from about 2 months ago). I only lost 1 of the six, and that was because it got way too wet...  This is about as close to tissue culture as I'll ever get. :)

Gene, I'm container growing in Wisconsin so I'm looking for varieties that have a good chance of ripening fruit given the length of my growing season.  I'm looking for Early Violet, O'Rouke and I'd like to get a few more of Ira Condit's creations.  Conadria is by far my favorite fig so far, and more than half the fruit ripen on my trees.
