Check this video out and please let me know what you think....Some very cool stuff going on with single node cuttings. Check out Eretabe Gardens on YT (@goodnessatlanta on here) to see his genius brain at work. He is one person who took up the challenge described in the attached video. My friends, Danny (@MyFigStix on here and YT) and Jeremy (@JaysfigsTx here and on YT), my fellow newie crew members, are also taking up the challenge. They are researching hard and I have complete faith in them. One thing I really LOVE about our newbie crew is that we expect to make mistakes, and we aren't afraid of our failures. We have a zero tolerance for jerks rule, and we pass no judgment. We plan to learn a lot and share the journey with our friends. But those two guys are doing some really impressive stuff right now. All winter I am getting texts about some cool new thing they are trying. Try, learn, improve, try some more.....trust the process ;-)

I watched your video on this, very cool idea, got me thinking I have some cuttings left the someone gave me and that aren't that great, and (inspired by you lol)I am going to experiment with those now and cut them to single nodes. I hope you have good success with that. Another friend of mine actually gave me a 3" angelito cutting last yr that broke off his tree that had only 2 nodes and i stuck it in the pot all last year and I now have it inside and it is starting to show growth, which i was super exciting about. I also am really tossing around the idea of growing one indoors (thanks to you AGAIN!) .

This is going to be too fun. I do not know how much success I will have but I do know I am about to learn a lot. As you know Eddie, Jeremy and I have been noticing the roots don’t always come from tha node. In fact my last sand up pots it was very clear the roots were coming from the scrapes I made to expose the cambium. They were all lined up perfectly. I am going to do better at documenting this with these. Hopefully we can all learn something!!
 
I commented on the pots in the past as well. Any container made of wood is going be extremely heavy. My husband made me some wooden hanging containers out of redwood years ago and they were very, very heavy especially after watering. They are great if you don't have to move them.

My hope is I do not ever need to move them. Lol!! I like the looks of them and if I can protect them from the few nights we get below 25, our first this year is supposed to be tomorrow night, then I think they are going to work great. But….if I have to move them……ugghhh!!

I really like yours and considered having my husband make something similar as the contracting colors are great. Unfortunately, I have enough problems transporting and removing trees from 20" pots so I cannot imagine removing trees from a wooden one that are as large as yours.

I would like to let you know from past experience from using oak barrels and redwood pots that roots will get imbedded into the sides and they rot at the bottom over time. Rot over time is to be expected, but I didn't expect the roots to grow into the sides. Maybe you coated the interior and bottom with something?

@FiggyEd I'm honored to be part of this challenge. You reached out to me about this challenge and I love the collaboration and that members will have free Angelito trees excites me just as it excites you. I love to experiment and that's what led me to be rooting single node fig cuttings since 2020. I have fig trees that were rooted as single node producing figs for me. This will be fun along with @MyFigStix and @JaysfigsTx.
