Free Fig Cuttings (California Only)

[Steven J.]

Edit:

I will cover the $10 shipping cost.

I will start to prune my fig trees soon and I want to try and give back what I can as a small thanks to this wonderful community. I don't have a crazy amount of cuttings, but I have enough to send to a select few people.

If you are interested in receiveing some "Mystery Tackle Box" style cuttings, read on.

Just comment, "I am interested", and list all of the fig varieties that you currently have. This will help me to avoid sending you something you already have. I will send one person as many cuttings as I can, and maybe some bonus small cuttings for grafting. At this time, I will only be shipping within California.

Offer will be open until January 1st, unless there are no takers by then. I will message you some time in January if you have been selected.

Good luck rooting, and thank you.

That is a good suggestion however I want to do this in a way that rewards the brave. Those willing to take a chance will be rewarded

 

[Steven J.]

I have one person selected already. I have room for 1 or 2 more .

3 people reached out to me. Unless someone drops out, that is all for now.

Thank you all so much again. Happy rooting.

Got the cuttings today, 11 varieties! I did not expect this many
Some that I know and wished for, some that I'm not familiar with and I'll have to look up.
I'm starting to root all of them immediately.

Thank you so much @Steven J.
I hope I'll be able to give back to you and others in the years to come.

And Feather River is the first to produce roots! (also the thickest cutting)
This one is 17 days in
I also saw some roots on the Olympian, Celeste and GDSJ cuttings when I peeked in side

Very cool! I also noticed Feather River was by far my most vigorous. Great job rooting

Congrats! What did u use for growing medium?

I used about 50:50 coco coir and DE. Sometimes I use 60:40. The DE is either floor dry or optisorb but in any case I’ve decided to run it through a sieve first to remove anything below 3mm. I tried 100% DE as well and I don’t like it
