Cutting mortality

If it is at all reassuring @Kid Fig I believe I have just a couple of these cuttings given to me by a unnamed beneficent donor somewhere in Santa Barbara. Do you wish RS quarantined?

Nah you're good 👍

I will say you might want to hold onto them since I did lose 2 of the 3 original rooted cuttings/small plants but most likely it was user error as opposed to being hard to root - but just incase; at least untill you know it isn't going to suddenly off and die.

Apparently @Fig Gazer is a Master Class Rooter-er and makes propigatiing look easy lol.

I know someone who has a couple ;)
 
Kid Fig said:
LOL - wow both made it huh?!

So now with this new info I think it's just me - I guess I'm just OK when it comes to propigating.

I gotta go the Way of Zapp Brannagin- and plant wave after wave of cuttings untill SUCCESS!

Yep.... I got two :)

I'm far from perfect... I have my losses.

I've only ever tried three grafts... I'm at 100% kill rate there. Hoping to hone that skill a bit this year.

I won't even try grafting - with my luck the tree dies but the graft remains viable...

Now you need another mango fig just so you can use that name!

LOL - not gonna lie I am tempted JUST so I can use it.

Maybe Girsh × RS or Saleeb × RS or Wild Capri #1 × RS.
 
We will propagate, and then hold on to the (RS) Mucho Mango Madness fig. To keep it safe in our Orchard Repository. LOL that is if we can propagate it.

I knew I read it a while back but I had to look it up.... The one place I saw it referenced referred to it as a Caulimovirus that has been identified. I believe it's related to a virus that causes mosaic diseases in other plants.

Untangling the taxonomy of dahlia mosaic virus - Archives of Virology

In this brief note, we review the taxonomic history of dahlia mosaic virus (DMV) and related viruses. DMV is the only officially recognized caulimovirus known to infect dahlia (Dahlia variabilis) plants, although this virus appears to be relatively rare as a pathogen compared to a more recently...
