Don’t get caught paying for fruit trees, when you can easily clone them for free. Today I will show you how to grow a fig tree from a cutting that you can plant in your own garden. Fig trees are one of the easiest fruit trees to propagate, if you follow the right steps and exercise patience you will be able to clone your own fig trees, and there is nothing better then free fruit trees.
Thanks for the kind words and support 😁🐕❤️

When it roots can i use. Compost ?
Figs do ripen off the tree if they've changed colors and/or are the right softness. You're wrong.
Figs grow wild where I live and they are everywhere.
James, I tried twice to root a fig tree without success. I'm in N.J.6B. After watching your video I will try once more. Hopefully 3x is the magic number LOL. You also being in N.J. gives me hope.
What a great video, my friend from Brooklyn gave me some cuttings off her white fig tree from Italy. Now I have to propagate, my question is, us Italians have always buried the branch in the ground leaving the top bud out. I now live upstate NY where winters are cold, do you think that method would work or should I cut up and use your cup method?
Hi James, Terrific and informative video! Thank you so much.
For how many hours or days we have to cover our pot with fig cutting????
I'm in Middletown de is it to late to root fig cutting Please help me I want to do this .I have a cutting
I just watched 'Mike Kincaid' propagate a 6" thick fig branch! It worked great! You can watch it on his channel.
James dont worry about the rooting hormone coming off… as you force the stick in, the hormone will come off, but it will works its way up the stick that may not have any on it. Even with powder, this is all good stuff. The dipped portion is never going to be lose all the hormone by doing this. I am not sure where this notion came from, but it is very common misconception in the hobby.
I like to spray Daconil on my cuttings and soil.to prevent fungus…..works great…..
Sir, with all do respect, we have a fig tree and they ABSOLUTELY do rippen after being picked. Very fast indeed. Sometimes half a day on the table is all it takes.
Help me fig god why are my fig not ripe
On the in side please help
I think it's a turkey brown tree
And I've had a couple go mouldy why they still on thee
Hi, where are you in NJ? I need help with propagating.
Dude…chill a bit. You sound like you are hyperventilating
Hi James,
Thanks or the informative video. I have been trying the wet paper towel method. Placed them on top of the fridge. After about a week I noticed white spots (1mm diameter) on the tops of the cuttings, above the paper towel. Any ideas what this might be: mould? mineral salts? I had the zip lock bags sealed but now I opened them to let some of the moisture dissipate.
Thanks for the how to, my neighbor has a fig tree that yields fruit and made a fig tort which was amazing. I had no idea a fig tree would thrive in Virginia, but I will give your method a try.
In England I have three big fig trees and I make dozens of 3 or 4 feet high trees every year from shooting branches placing wet compost round them which produce roots and sell then to the public
You should try growing Chicago Hardy figs in NJ. It may be the most productive variety with the biggest crop, and it does well in cold weather. Delicious, too.
LOOKING TO TRADE FIG CUTTINGS . . . I live in Maryland (Zone 7A) and will have plenty of Chicago Hardy fig cuttings that I am looking to trade for cuttings of other cold hardy fig varieties (Celeste, Brown Turkey, Violette de Bordeaux, Petite Negra, White Marseilles, Texas Everbearing or any other proven cold hardy variety). If interested, send me a message. Thanks!
I'm in South Jersey so I'm invested in your content my 2nd year fig fruited this year and this is exactly the video I needed, thanks bro
Question please, do all the leaves need to be taken off the branch that you're trying to propagate it? Does it have to be 9" long? Relatively new at this I can't see spending $75 for a 14" Turkey Brown fig tree, I'm in Arizona and these trees are everywhere Obviously they like the environment.. I was just giving a branch that's about 2' long lotta leaves and has some figs on it. I was gonna take it home and try growing it I wanted some advice on whether I should shorten it and whether or not I really need to remove the leaves
Thanks Nick
Love your vids!! Who does the filming?
Thanks for the great information. Question: What are those tiny bugs/Gnats inside my plastic container as I'm cloning my figs for first time.
Hi James, and Tuck. (I have a Silky Terrier, too. They make us laugh everyday, are so sweet). I am in zone 7b, and am having success with 3-year old Chicago Figs. I am going to try propagating from cuttings the first time now, Dec. 2021. Thank you for your video. If you are interested in any Chicago Figs, please let me know and I will be happy to send some to you – provided I am successful (fingers crossed). Thank you for all of your videos. I have learned a ton from you
Hi James – Thanks for the helpful video. I recently moved from New Jersey to New Orleans. I had a healthy mature fig tree in my yard so I took cuttings and planted them in Solo cups as per your instructions. The cups (I took about 30 cuttings) are in a plastic bin in my attic covered by mover's plsatic wrap. The attic is warm and they have sunlight. It's been about 4 weeks and several of the cuttings have started to sprout leaves. Others appear to be growing upside down with roots growing out of the top into the humid air. Is that normal? Should I cut those in half and stick the roots in soil? How long should I leave the cuttings in the solo cups before planting them? Should I put them in pots and wait until Spring to plant them in the yard? Winters are pretty mild here. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Thank you for the video
