Thinking of trying to propogate our Brown Turkey for the allotment, and
also as backup if our plan to replant in the ground next year doesn't
work.

Google suggests that this is the time to start air layering so wondered
if anyone had tried this on a fig recently.

They are so easy from the summer pruning's used as cuttings I can not
quite see why you would bother air layering?


Well, the fig is at the moment of such limited stature (being in a large
pot) that it hasn't required much summer pruning for a while.
Given that some sites suggest that you can get a well rooted air cutting in
4-5 weeks in Spring it seemed like a good idea.
Also, I'm bored and don't want to wait a few months for summer :-)
