  • Thank you to all who donated fig cuttings to my propagation workshop!

    The people had a great time and a lot of good varieties.

          Looks like folks had lots of fun.

          Is the rooting medium straight coarse perlite? How do you keep it moist enough to root?

                I use a mix of Ag #3 and #4. You water it every few days. I also sprinkle a pinch of peat moss on top more for the organic acids than anything else.

                  Great Bob, those look like some happy people. Have you done this before? I was wondering if you follow up with the folks and know if any of the trees make it into the gardens? Really wonderful in any case to share the fig bug. My dear friend Daisy and I were honored to share some Improved Brown Turkey sticks for the event. Best, Jodi in AZ
