You can grow cuttings in the summer under mist, etc. but it is seldom waranted. Refrigeration may help. If you are interested in playing you can take cuttings in the summer.

Figs are grown from hardwood cuttings taken in the winter around Feburary. I plant my hardwood cuttings in the ground where I want the fig to grow. Just dig a hole and add some compost. Plant the cutting with at least three bud nodes with one just above the ground.

After being in the ground for a while they will start to root. You have cool weather, and rain in the spring to get them started.

It is quite easy to take summer cuttings and root them by several methods. For non dormant fig wood......I prefer to root cutting "tips" only and not inner wood. I look for a tip which has a closed or nearly closed bud tip. I remove the broad leafy part of the leaves up to the stem....remove only the leafy part and not the stems. They can be stored in baggies placed in a refrigerator until the stems fall off.....or they can be started immediately by the rooting method of your choice. Personally, I prefer to root summer cuttings in peat pots using 1 part perlite to 1 part Ultimate Potting Mix. Works great for me.

But after they root, you need to give them artificial lite,with a timer,so you will have 14 hours daylight,even tho the day duration is decreasing,after July 22.

Just a little extra lite in the evening starting just before sun down,they need to keep growing.

In my opinion it's just as easy to root green cuttings as it is dormant cuttings
