Cool TFG.

Looking forward to seeing how the base goes with throwing roots...!

In answer to my earlier question the last line would indicate that your process may indeed result in an head start upon what is IMO a more palatable tree.

Keep me posted on your progress please!

Houston, we have roots:

Incredible the speed of which things grow for you TFG.

I checked some month or so old Ficus cuttings yesterday out of pure frustration...
Still green and healthy and not a root to be seen!

Keep me posted on your progress here.

Thanks Boics, I do tend to get a decent growth rate

Here are some updated pictures.

Just a thought. Maybe you should have taken it back to the store and asked if it was meant to have roots???? at this time of year

They would probably just tell you that pulling it up to see the roots had voided any guarantee so no returns or exchanges anyway. Glad it's pulling through for you TFG.

They probably would have , thanks!

I'd say it's pretty well rooted

any update on this one? I have recently got one of these from bigW to try the "developing dynamic figs" technique on, I ended up splitting each bulbous root into two cuttings and the top bit into its own cutting with a tapered base. They haven't died but they aren't doing much yet, but it's only been 2 weeks.

Woops, missed the bump. This one is perfectly healthy today:

Great! I hope mine works out. Here's mine. I took that the leaves hasn't died as a good sign, just have to wait and see if some new ones sprout:
