in my limited experience and through reading, i have learned that ficus
carica are difficult to root from cuttings, at least they are for me, I've
succesfully rooting other types but not carica.

Beg to disagree, Richard. To take a 1" trunk and try to treat
it as a
cutting is not plausible in my book. Did you ever try it?

Seems that it is in Florida (even North Florida). I recently
took an F salicifolia workshop and we were directed to cut all
roots (and branches, as a matter of fact) off the trees to, in
effect, start over. They had 2-inch bases. It is sprouting
well (tho another one that I didn't cut _quite_ as much is badly
in need of a haircut). So we'll see.

people have learned to appreciate and cherish the landscape and
its living cover will they treat it with the care and respect it
should have - Paul Bigelow Sears.
