Is it true a fig root cutting will never produce fruit? Mine is now a large tree 5 years old in full sun and no figs.

The easiest way to get a fig tree is to root a cutting and it should have fruit in a very few years like 3 at the most. The older a fig tree gets the larger it gets just like most things. Usually getting figs in 3 to 4 years depending on where you live. I have 3 nice trees now and 2 more small trees. I also have a 5 gal. bucket with 5 cuttings in it that I started early this spring that are well rooted and ready to plant this fall after the leaves fall. They are now about 3 feet tall and looking real good. DAN

I am now rooting a few cuttings of MB VS. I have high hopes for these in my middle tn area. I got them from driveway farmer on eBay. You can also purchase a young plant from encanto farms on Internet. If all else fails I might be able to spare one if I have a good success rate with my cuttings.I have a lot of other cuttings and I come to Memphis on occasion, so we might be able to do a trade or deal someday.

Hi, I would love some fig plants. I live on the other end of Tennessee near Knoxville. I'm new to this forum, not sure what to do next..lol I recently moved to a one acre property behind my daughters house. I intend to build a greenhouse about 20 X 14 (also inclosing my hot tub) Thanks for any info, and I love the information I'm getting from this site..
