Figs from cuttings

-taff

Did the same, water turned into plant poo smelling water so I think the cuttings I took were too young. I'll go back next week or the week after and get some hard wood cuttings and try that.

Nice figs Farway...

I suspect that Farway cut his twigs in the spring? And that's why they grew. Cuttings taken now wouldn't root.

Yes, taken in spring, March time,  when I was pruning and decided to give it a try and not waste potential cuttings

Looking at your methods of growing is really interesting Farway. Real success so I'm thinking of changing my methods.
Eating fig & honey chutney from the supermarket and dreaming of pan de higio I'm really keen to try growing figs now.
I turned down a house with 2 figs now regretting it
Congrats on the achievement of free figs 

Right now Morries have them, only young Brown Turkey but at £2.29 a steal. 

You'll probably be eating figs in 2025 given a fair wind

Not our morrisons sadly. They seem to have abandoned their plant tunnel as pathetic display only.
High endish gardening dining stuff that no one wants in hard times.

You know I'm going to take that as a challenge now don't you?
