Good luck with that.  100 cuttings is a lot of trees.  A friend of mine started some figs from cuttings and they seemed to take pretty well, so hopefully you will have the same luck.  Cuttings are a hit and miss for me...

I think he will have a lot of fails then a lot of culling to get done to quality starts he can actually use.

yeah for me too... I watched a bunch of videos and read articles about the subject.. I am trying a few different methods to see which works out best. Luckily I have a near unlimited supply of cuttings. Dad has 4 huge trees that need to be trimmed.

-Stuck a few cuttings in the ground
-Got a bunch in a water bucket
-Another big bunch wrapped in wet towels and placed in plastic bags
-A few in nursery pots.
-And a few in a big fish tank.

Thanks

yea last year I tried, but with only about a dozen... two survived. One got eaten by gopher and the other is doing well.

The original trees are of good quality so I am hoping the cuttings will be the same. Although root stock may not be as good. (I know most trees you buy from nurseries are grafted onto strong/wild root stock).

I'd imagine you would have some clone gel shubin

 

[JShubin]

Have some rooting hormone... no clone gel...

I heard figs dont need it tho

Just took a bunch of olive tree cuttings from tree at work... these will need hormones and takes about 90 days. heard they have lower success rate than other fruit trees.

Haven't posted in a while, lost 3 stags a week ago to high winds, but here's some progress nonetheless.
