Most, but some have been very difficult for me but I think that it's mostly the quality of the cutting. It's a little perplexing, at times, because sometimes a small skinny cutting will root very fast for me and other times, not at all.

Very nice collections! I'm only first starting with cuttings from my own trees for practice but will soon hope to get some more rare varieties. (mainly eyeing Genovese Nero)

Any fig growers here ever tried drying Panache/Tiger Stripe?

Genovese Nero rooted very easily for me. I've been growing Panache for several years and had some great figs from it last year so I'm going to plant some more.

I would love to get my hands on a very fast growing and productive fig cutting or small tree locally. I just bought two Hardy Chicago online from Hirt's.

Do you have any decent fruit-tree/shrub selling nurseries nearby? Even in our climate, which is among the two worst for growing figs, we thankfully still have a nursery 2 hours away that sells a few good varieties for our region. (we don't have icy winters, but we never get summers long or hot enough)

Nice! I've started for my first time, some fig cuttings from one of my slightly older figs and also from a newly bought fig I figured was tall enough to snip back for cuttings before planting it - After a couple months, all 12 are growing perfectly happy but for one.

Yes!! To harveyc, haha, sorry. I've got a much beloved Tiger fig in my greenhouse that I'm waaay too excited to try, but from the sounds of it, it is just about the best fig out there, and I know everyone thinks Black Madeira is the best, but, Tigers are prettier

Ae Ae fig, lol. My Tiger figs are just wee babies, about the size of that one on the far right. They'd be bigger if my greenhouse was fixed before June.

Tony, mine's bigger (the one above weighed 100 grams). You need some wasps.

What variety you got there, Tony? Had some visitors today. I think they liked Panache best out of the dozen varieties we tried, though they liked Flanders a lot, Marabout c. Smyrna, and Mega Celeste. So many figs, so little time.
