How to get cuttings?

12 years ago

Hi, I have an interest in fig growing but I have never grown them before. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for finding relatively cheap cuttings (esp. Violette de bourdeax). The only reasonably priced plants I can find are brown turkey and even those are few and far between so I am trying to find cuttings now. Thanks :)

Wondering this as well. Got a few cuttings from a mystery fig from a neighbor. I would love to get my hands on a couple Violette de Bordeaux though!

For figs your best bet is on the Plant Echange forum. I have cuttings for celeste, brown turkey, hardy chicago, fico nero and nero nobili. Do you have anything to exchange?

I don't have any fig cuttings to exchange but I do have rooted raspberry cuttings, apple and (probably) apricot scion wood (unknown varieties) as well as a lot of vegetable seeds. I also have an avacado tree that needs to be trimmed which I can take cuttings from if you are interested. I tried the plant exchange forum but didn't get much of a response.
