How Are Your Figs Doing?

I wanted to take a survey and see how your figs are doing. How did they survive shipping? Are they acclimating well? How are the roots? Are they budding out yet?

You can post your answer right here. To do that:

- I emailed you a couple of days ago with: "You have been invited to contribute to The Year of the Fig". Click on the 'Accept Invitation' button and then follow the instructions on the next page
- Next click on this post and then scroll to near the bottom of the page and you will see a little pencil icon, which allows you to edit the post
- You just add text and the bottom of the page and you can upload pictures too

Also, once you accept the invitation, you are an author of this blog so you can make new posts about the figs. If you have a question or observation, please share it!

I will get this topic started

-----------------------  Update from Mark -----------------------

I sent out a bunch of Marseilles Black VS (MBVS) rooted cuttings except for one. Which I am saving as a 'control'. This was the slowest cutting at the time of shipping (had no buds and the least developed root system). Right now it is doing okay. It is a little slow to grow for me, as I expected based on it's development. Here is how it looks now:

(roots are present and visible through bag, but small)
