Tissue Culture Figs

Tissue Culture Figs.

Most of the figs from the Ebay nurseries seem to sell tissue culture figs.  They are on the small side and with many suckers. I'm not sure if I am a fan of these yet. They just seem a bit weaker than cuttings and I've read will take longer to fruit.

I have Olympian, LSU purple, and Black mission.

  1. They don't take longer to fruit... that's just what people saying cuttings say to protect their market.

  3. I received a black mission culture plant and was size of a leaf and trunk about thin as a nail. 3 months later it looks real cool with all its tiny leaves but only 6 inches tall. The other cuttings I have gotten at same time already have fruit on them and one is 3 feet tall, others 2 feet. True this is variety dependent. Once culture plants get going they do grow well and more similar to a seedling. At least this is what my black missions look like at 6 inches by 5 inches. Started out at 2 1/2 inches with one leaf on them. Seller clearly rushed the sell. All good though.
