I was looking on Ebay at Figs of course and stumbled across theses freshly rooted " bare root " cuttings I see it is a 6 day auction I was wondering what there chance of surviving is??? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LSU-Tiger-ROOTED-Fig-Tree-Cutting-aka-039-Mega-Celeste-039-amp-039-Giant-Celeste-2-/111628009682?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276 |

Wow, that's got to be a shock on such a young "tree." I don't think it will do well if in shipping for any more than a day or 2, and even then if it gets frozen or overheated along the way its gone. |

I have bare root cutting sent to me that were in transit almost a month...they are doing great, mine did have more roots and were almost in a dormant state with no leaves... |

My long time experience has been to NOT disturb (them very fragile) young fig-cutting roots at all. |

Might do OK, but I wonder why they didn't wait a little longer, maybe another month or two, for the roots to get stronger. |
