hi, I have started sending out cuttings. I expect to have mailed them all out by early this coming week. (that is to the people who have paid for postage)

I also need to rake leaves!!! EEEK!

    Mimi, Step one, I've received the cuttings. Step 2, I cleaned them and put them to chill for a while. Step 3 will be when I take them out of the fridge and put them in baggies in the mini greenhouse. Thank you and wish me luck. I will keep you updated on my progress.

    Hey Gene, Thanks for letting me know. I really hope that they can take root in Houmas (hopefully on high ground!)

    Mimi, If the Gulf of Mexico continues it's march northward, I'll one day be the owner of some beachfront property. And that ain't no joke. But for now they will be planted on high ground.

    Hi Mimi, received my cuttings yesterday. I'm calling them Nonnie's Purple and Mimi's green(at least until they can be truly identified). I'm pretty sure the green on is Desert King. Thank you for sharing. Tim

    There are still about 5 people that said they wanted figs, but have not mailed me postage or given me their address; you still have time, I've only cut back 1/4 of the tree yet. On Saturday we hope to get the job done, so let me know...?

    If you have not already written to me, it's best to assume that I have no more cuttings. Thanks; we cut A LOT of wood out of the trees last weekend; taking out dead stuff that has been there for years.

    madelaine I have not seen you on the forum in awhile. I hope you are alright.

    Just wanted to let you know the cuttings you sent me are doing well. I can see just a tiny little bit of roots at the sides of a couple of the containers. I will post some pictures in a week or two when the roots are more obvious.

    Thank you again THISISME

    The cuttings Madelaine sent to me. They are doing well. The green fig grew very fast and I labeled it D. king, Mimi for now. The other one is the Nonnie's fig. Thank you for the cuttings Madelaine.

    Those are sure looking good Joe, way ahead of mine which are just starting to show initials in baggies. Started them about 2 weeks ago. Tim

  • genecolin

    I've got to agree with them Joe, they're looking great. Tim I also started mine about 10 days ago. I would have potted a couple today but I had to take an out of town trip on spiritual business. Tomorrow I will pot one green and one purple. I did meet a fig lover with whom I'll share some of my duplicate plants with.

    Nice looking growth there jstall.

    I was one of the last to receive cuttings so mine are a bit behind yours.
