Figs from a cutting in less than a year? Whaaat?
Tried this a few times with no success... Maybe the branches were too old.
I heard about a bullet proof method tho', never tried it tho'. It's called air-layering - google it if you're not familiar with it, interesting concept. One more bullet proof way to do it is by laying them down branches of live trees a little below the soil...
Anyways, I've given up on growing figs around here (continental climate), they're practically tasteless compared to the Medditerranean ones... Which have juice the consistency and the taste of honey dripping from them while they're still on the tree. Seriously, if you happen to visit this part of the world, you gotta try Dalmatian figs!
