Hi, thanks for asking about Figs. Just like musa there are hundreds and hundreds of types - green figs, black figs, yellow figs, etc etc. Many different flavor profiles. Tons of info online, including forums - just like this one that do nothing but talk about Figs Figs Figs. Most Figs can be easy to propagate through cuttings, grafting, or TC. Some types have proven to be tough, one type of mine, I have gone through about 50 cuttings the past few years, with only a handful of success, where as other I approach 100%. Many of my rare Figs are heirlooms discovered growing wild in New Mexico over the past 20 years, in abandoned homestead, farms, fields......many of these mother trees have been cut down, leaving them quite rare. Many of these were brought over overseas with immigrants long ago.
