For me this happens in February, and just February usually.
I am hoping the Dwarf Everbearing types can take one single zap to 10-15F after leafing and then come back and fruit from March onwards. That’s the challenge on my climate for them.
God willing they’ll be ok. We will see! Thanks
Thanks to the generous members on the forum, I have upped my fig variety count from 3 in 2024 to 13 in 2025 (maybe 14 but Lyon is still iffy) While the knowledge here is the truly invaluable part, the trade opportunities are nothing to scoff at! So far (except Lyon,) I’ve ended up with at least 1-2 takes of every fig variety I’ve traded for.
I know for seasoned fig collectors my fig collection seems like child’s play, but a 330% growth in collection size feels like an accomplishment lol.
Also checked on 2 grape varieties someone sent me that look like they may be working out. The Yuzu is showing promise, and the lone Pakistan mulberry Gknight sent me has swelling buds. It’s been a battle not to check for roots!
First ever try rooting/growing a fig (thanks to the generosity of @TNHunter ) looking promising so far. I’d been holding my breath that it wasn’t leafing out too soon, but I’m seeing some nice big roots on the sides of the container now so I’m becoming optimistic they have a good chance of making it to the spring when I can move them to a permanent home. 
wasnt seeing any action on these air layers so i checked and sure enough my experiment of just scoring and using hormones didnt push any roots and healed over. i redid them in the usual manner:
Cool! What variety(or varieties)?
I think it’s Chicago hardy. I am not certain though because I got the cuttings from my church.
I had no intentions in trying to root this, but I went into the woods to look at the plant and accidently broke a branch that was growing laterally along the ground. It is our native hog plum (ximenia americana). Judging by the fact that it was buried underground and had no roots, I don’t think it roots well, but I might as well try.
Well that’s cool! Does the plant grow at the church? I’ve contemplated donating a fig to some of the local churches. I figured the kids would enjoy the fruit and it would be cool since figs appear so much in scripture.
I trimmed some muscadines and thought, “Why not?” And stuck them in a couple pots.
I’m also trying to root a varigated citrus cutting. Thanks Melon!
Let us know if you have luck! I almost did the same, but I had enough ground layers that had worked and have heard others report low success on dormant muscadines
Noted!
Cool!!! That’s the one Fruitnut harvested for like 11 months isn’t it?
I got brave and planted one of my 6 week old Jan’s Best everbearing mulberry cuttings outdoors in the ground!
I mulched it with cardboard and some Woodchips
Thanks to @TNHunter and his generosity, I am on my way to growing my first fig trees from his cuttings. These are my first rooted cuttings, a Chicago Hardy variety.
Yeah! Same variety
