[COGardener]

That is awesome! !! Looks like your going to busy for awhile! !!!

Is your Cuiro De Bou among them?

[WillsC]

Sadly no.

[JohnnyK]

Wowee. That's a ton of cuttings. Have fun

[smatthew]

Wow. What can I do to receive packages like that?

[smatthew]

No really, what do i have to do to receive packages like that? Make friends? Pay someone?

[Hershell]

Be somebody. Lol. I'm with you, Wills is definitely somebody.

[BrooklynMatty]

Holy Toledo! Christmas came early for you. Hopefully they were washed/prepped before they arrived, unless your project is cleaning and prepping them all. Congrats

[WillsC]

I know some people advocate the washing and prepping but I don't do it, still think it is a good idea to do so......I just take them out of the plastic and root them.

[jmaler]

What a nice Christmas present. Hopefully in a year or two you will make some of these new varieties avilable to us on ebay.

[Iowafig]

Now that is impressive! Happy rooting...

I never hold anything back. Forum members though don't need to go the Ebay route with me if they don't want to. Pm's work fine and I don't mind Ebay losing their 10% cut and they end up being cheaper with no auction competition so we both win.

[fruitnut]

Thank you Wills for laying that out. When I purchase more cuttings it will be from you. I know you've put a lot of effort and expense into procuring the best fig varieties. I also like your pricing. Definitely cheaper than Ebay auctions.

[Inkfin]

I wish somebody would extend their generosity in bb forum as well ;-)

[Taverna78]

And here we go!!!

$1.00 BOB!!!!!!😁

[Harborseal]

Are you auctioning me off?

[WillsC]

Inkfin,

Blueberries are harder, they are patented and the University of Florida means it when they say they will go after anyone selling their varieties. I have a non prop agreement on file with them.....and I have no desire to have them come after me so.......

[COGardener]

To bad this years box is not as full as last years!

[WillsC]

Scott,

You have a good memory......same friend also.

[COGardener]

I remember that.... but my own name most days! lol

[growcrazie]

Nice!

[nana26]

WoW!!

[figgrower]

Congratulations!

[efletche]

Wow!! It's good to have friends. You have enough space for all those?

[Sarahkt]

Wow, that's great. And very generous of the person who sent it.

Wills, you don't clean your cuttings -- does that mean you don't use a humidity bin either? Don't remember if you've ever posted about your own rooting set up.

[don_sanders]

And here we go!!!

Miss Sarah,

It means I am too busy (read that as too lazy) to clean them, I do think it is a good idea though. Just that box from one friend was over 300 cuttings. I do not use a humidity bin, I find the transition out of it too hard on the plants and too time consuming. But you have to remember I am in Florida so the native humidity here even in winter is very different than a lot of the country. I root them inside then they go outside in to a propagation room where the humidity and temperature is controlled then in the greenhouse. Last year was a mess.....first year using coir and I got it too wet. This year we shall see Personally on a smaller scale I love the way Hershell does it with his "figerator" He is a redneck engineer of the highest order.

[pukzpukz]

OK NOW I need to see the figerator Hershall

[Sarahkt]

I visited Florida (Orlando) once a long time ago and the humidity did not agree with me. To someone from a dry desert zone, it felt like it would not be unlike living in a humidity bin year-round. Wouldn't wonder if you don't need a bin!

Though, seems like there's been good success with foregoing the bin and just waxing the tops and covering the top areas in Parafilm. I'm currently doing both at once but I agree weaning off high humidity is a pain. Think I'll try without the bin with the next batch of cuttings.

[newnandawg]

Wills, with your climate, humidity etc ever thought about direct planting the cuttings. Have had pretty good success here in the summer months.

[WillsC]

Mike,

That would work i'm sure but once in the ground I could not sell the extras. I have a nursery license and that is a big no no for them.

[WillsC]

Basically what I did was try to make a walk in Figerator. I'm sure Hershell would post it if asked.

[Taverna78]

Come on funny man. Show you figerator please! Is like a Kegorator. Dispense beer. Yous dispense Figs ? Ahahaha!!!!🙀😽👊🏼

[Hershell]

Absolutely not. It's top secret, Wills has never saw it. Lol. I have posted pictures but will post more when I get home with some details.
