My fig tree is causing problems with the pipe line and I m going to have to cut it down, sadly. I've never have tried creating new trees from established trees, so I am offering anyone who wants fig trees to come and cut them their own cuttings. I'm not in a huge rush but I'll bet cutting it down within in the next month or so. Email is fastest to get to me Sarahmdane@gmail.com.
The fig trees are about 15 years old. I'm alsonlooking for any advice tonged the other one I have to produce fruit. No one has really taken care of the yard since we moved in and I really would love to have some figs next year.
I live near sugar land! |

| If you'd be willing to cut & ship them for people that would be most helpful. This forum has people from all over, not only the USA but from all over the world. Most likely you will get emails with this request. Hope you're open to that possibility. What color are the figs? |

| Sugarland sounds like the Houston area to me. Would be nice if he/she would say. |

| I do live south of Houston, sorry. My tenth month old came down with this crud and we all have it. In the midst of no sleep and head cold, I thought I posted this in the Texas forum. Right now, it is pending pick up. I'm also researching on getting the cuttings to root before I consider shipping to anyone. |

| I dug up three fig trees today and transplanted them into the back yard. They are not small, and in digging them up, I cut away over half of the roots. But I've been doing this forever and have never lost a tree yet. Might you consider just transplanting the old tree? It's fine if you have to cut away a lot of the roots. Just have a couple beefy guys around to tear it loose from the earth and let them drag it to a new place. Replant, water and walk away. Figs can take it better than any tree I know. You will be eating a bucket of figs come summer. |
