Over a period of many years I have tried a variety of methods to get, in plain words me more fig trees to give away to friends and people I meet that show an interest in growing them. The method that worked well for me is the same as Bass stated by just placing a cutting into a good quality potting soil in a small container with good drainage holes provided. I know over the years that I given out over 150 trees using that method but for some reason this year has been a bummer. The cuttings will not root for me. I'm placing the blame on the weather conditions this year because I keep the potted cuttings on my southern facing covered patio's brick wall. There they get the warmth from the southern facing wall and not direct sunlight but lately we have not had much sun and the days we did get sun the temps where really up there during the day and down during the nights.. I water them so they never dry out. I've done new wood cuttings with just as much success as I did using last years wood until this year. That's why my interest in air layering question asked to make sure I have the information to get it done correctly and have results in the end. I have three people waiting for trees. I wonder if I charged for the trees if anyone would want them. I do it for a hobby and I just can't get myself to throw away any branch I cut from my olive, lemon, bay leaf and fig trees. I just have to pot them up to try and get them growing. I usually give the people I give a tree of any variety I have printed up growing instructions epically if they live in our area where the best method to grow them is in containers and store the covered in a garage or shed during the winter months. Bass I live about 20 miles northwest of Allentown, PA. The town is called Lehighton. Lou NE. PA

Another nice fig video you posted. Thanks. Martin

I started four Air Layers on my REI fig tree

I started these two air layers on August 3rd and removed them on September 16th.
