A tale of three airlayers

[Charlie Dodgson]

Earlier this year I set 3 rooting balls on fig plants that had escaped their pots. This weekend I harvested them. The balls placed on Ciliegia Dolce and Owensboro performed as expected, but the one on Nero 600M did not produce any roots. In retrospect, I think the bark was too calloused where I placed it. I decapitated the plant anyway and planted it as a giant rooting.

That’s where the generous cuttings came from haha.

They look good though, hopefully they all root well into their new homes

Those roots are looking a little dried up,
You think they'll be okay?

Looking good! New trees on the way.

I scrapped one of them and they are very much alive.
