Rooting fig

13 years ago

I have a large fig tree that a friend wants a couple plants from. I have a large limb air-rooted right now on it that I will give to another friend as soon as it cools down a little. Would it be alright to start a couple more air-rootings now or would it be better to wait until next spring?

It's not to late to air layer in your climate.

Thanks, I will start a couple. The tree is huge and I can get them some big plants that way.

It's a lot easier, and almost full proof, to do dormant propagation
in January, if you'd like an alternative method.
