There are a lot more.
Dwarf everbearing and Illinois everbearing are different varieties. Dwarf everbearing is known for being easy to root, Illinois known for the opposite.
Yeah Illinois mostly doesn’t root at all from cuttings. There is a good thread about which mulberries root from cuttings and don’t.
Well that’s probably why I’ve had issues. That would be really nice of you to send me some. Would you like to trade for anything I have? Or, alternatively, I could Venmo you the shipping cost for the scions.
That solves the riddle on rooting issue lol. Dwarf everbearing is very different than Illinois everbearing. If @Gkight is going to send you cuttings then I will hold off on my end since my easier to root stuff has mostly broken dormancy

I’m trying to root Viking rootstock from cuttings with no bottom heat. The patent (expired) states it can root in the field from cuttings over winter ( Ca winters)

Not sure… I have room to plant 3 of them. I guess I’ll give them away!
BTW, when can I plant them in ground? Maybe when they have been in the rooting pots for a couple of months?

Good luck. Even if you do everything right, you may have to deal with viruses that may or may not permanently corrupt the genes of your beloved fig tree.

are you actively heating the tent or just the ambient heat from the light?

I found that it is helpful to root first in darkness and then turn on the lights.
