Atushi White Fig - 2- Cuttings - Ficus Afghanistanica - Great Fig for Sun Drying

The Atushi White fig is a new variety that we we created by germinating fig seeds from dried figs grown in Atush aka Artux, China. This fig variety produces figs that are very similar to the mother dried fig, and are perfect for sun-drying. Ficus Afghanistanica is a cousin to the common Mediterranean fig, ficus carica, and is widely grown throughout Afghanistan, Pakistan, India Oman, China, and Iran. This type of fig is most frequently grown for sun-drying, although it can also be eaten fresh. The figs are green to yellow color when ripe and have a light yellow/amber color interior and honey fig flavor. The figs will often split, but unlike other figs, splitting is considered a good quality with these figs becuase when the figs split that enables them to dry well and produces the best tasting dried figs, aka "open mouth" figs. The "open mouth" dried figs sold in Iran, China, etc. are considered the highest quality and sell for a premium over the closed mouth figs; Since this is a new fig variety, and becuase we are in a location with the fig wasps, we are unable to determine thus far if this is a self-fertile fig aka common fig, or if it requires the fig wasp pollination to produce ripe figs. This listing is for 2 cuttings, suitable for rooting or grafting. Fig trees are easy to grow from cuttings We use the "fig pop" rooting method to root fig cuttings, and have around 80%-90% success rate without using any rooting hormone.
