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.

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! :)
