I ordered a ‘starter pack’ of fig cuttings from Chris in the North Texas Vegetable Gardeners facebook group.  She sent me some bonus cuttings and I was scrounging around for things to plant them in.  To get them to grow roots, I wrapped the tops in parafilm, made a fresh cut 1/4″ from the lowest bud, cut a strip of bark away from the area near the bottom bud, added some rooting hormone, and stuck it in a tree pot filled with moist high-end potting soil.   

Varieties:  4 Celeste, 1 Chicago Hardy, 2 Black Mission, 1 Lemon, 1 Sal’s El, 2 Kadota, 1 Panache, 2 Petite Negra, 2 Nero 600m, and 2 Violette de Bordeaux
