Heck yeah. Totally what I would have done. I had a bunch of pear scion for grafting and stuck them all in a pot this year. Darn things all survived…lol. I’ll have to separate this winter and I imagine it’s gonna be a mess.
Nope. They said that the original landowner of their subdivision had a bunch of fig trees. As folks built and moved there they cleared off the lots. The mother tree was the last one left in their neighbors lot and was so big my aunt had to climb it to pick the figs. They took a cutting from that tree 6 years ago and planted it and thats the one they gave me.

Plant it all!!alright i've reduced it further and i planted 9 of the thickest cuttings in various spots in my garden. still have a bunch of wood left not sure if i'll do anything with it at this point. they all were still green when scratched so probably should take off as long as i'm not as unlucky with them as i was with my superbowl figs

It may be a bit.
When I ripped some big trees out of the ground at a friends place, I potted them once home.
It took a couple weeks before seeing any growth...I thought they died.
Give it time.
As far as I can tell they aren't moving. Cant tell if they are some kind of larvae or some kind of growth forming on the wood.

Have you tried any fertilizers?
Fox farms “kanga roots”
It’s designed specifically to:
- stimulate new root growth
- increase root branching and root hair development
- reduce transplant stress
- improve nutrient uptake

I have never had to deal with thrips, but they are an issue for a lot of peeps.
After looking at them under a microscope I can definitely say what they aren't. But still dont know what they are.
They are not sawdust because when I scrape them off I can see their insides which look like tiny organs.
They dont look anything like mealybugs, fig borers, ambrosia larvae, or thrips. They dont have any discernible body sections like head thorax etc. They are just skinny elongated white things with a tiny bit of red on the end that connects to the bark

Took some closeups and some really close closeups. Still clueless as to what this is ive never seen a bug with this kind of shape.
Almost makes me think it could be a fungus or something else.

I went ahead and cut off the most affected branch. Decided to cut into, peel the bark back, and chop up the pieces. As far as I can tell no obvious signs of borers. But cool to see the inside of a fig tree lol
I haven't fed it anything as I thought i was supposed to avoid any fetilizer while it recovered.
I have fish emulsion (5-1-1), ocean solution (2-0-3), and Foop Garden (1-1-0.5). Would any of those work?
