Norella fig
Dark skinned berry fig originating from Italy. Mt Etna type fig.
Thick texture like jam when allowed to ripen fully. Main crop starts around July in 9b and it is a heavy producer. Our tree had dozens of ripe figs in its 1st year growing!
Norella Figs are susceptible to splitting in rain but thick stem allows the fruit to stay on tree long enough to dry and be used as dried fruit.

You are buying a dormant cutting, not a tree. Your cutting will be between 6”-12” long and an ideal thickness for rooting out.
Make a fresh cut at a 45 degree angle about 1/2” - 3/4” BELOW the bottom node on the cutting.
If you choose to use rooting hormone, dip the cutting in the hormone next.
Plant the cutting in clean moistened soil of your choice (I like using coco coir and perlite mixed together)
There are many methods for starting your cuttings. Once you find a way that works well for you, I suggest upping your game and starting more breeds of fig. Expand your herd!
Care
• Keep cuttings in a dark closed container until new growth appears, at which time you should start giving the cuttings some artificial light, led grow lights from amazon are cheap and work great!.
• Keep cuttings under light for 12 hours a day until you can see roots coming out the bottom of the container, then uppot to a much bigger pot. I generally start cuttings in 4”x9” tree pots, then the 1st up-potting goes into 3-5 gallon grow bags. About 2-4 months later, I will up-pot again to a 15-30 gallon grow bag so I get a LARGE tree. My way is just 1 way. There are many methods out there to grow fig trees from cuttings. I encourage you to see what works best for your area, and your style.
