These aren't my pics or cuttings but wanted to share. It's just another way to start figs from a one node cutting and it's a great way to get more trees from expensive cuttings.
Copied quote from original post.
"This is why I use one node cuttings a lot. You can really stretch your cuttings for one thing. It seems like the root quicker than full length cuttings as well. Maybe it’s just me though... I use damp, not wet, peat moss and a disposable lasagna pan with the supplied clear lid. Takes about 3 weeks to get here. I completely bury the cuttings with about 1/2” of peat moss. No heat mat, just keep room at 72-73 degrees. Works for me, hope it sheds some light to others. These are Raspberry Latte and VdB. Smallest is 1-1/2”, largest is 2-1/2”."

I pruned my Celeste tree last week and started cuttings I don't need to try a different technique than above. If anybody wants a tree contact me when I post about these rooting.
