Free fig propagation class June 14th @ 10 am

If you came to our Scion Exchange in February, you may remember Greg G. He was stationed by the fig table and was an amazing font of knowledge on fig varieties exotic and rare (which he was disappointed to see were NOT among our scions). In the weeks immediately after, he and fellow members of FigFanatic.com made 100s of scions from these rarest figs available to several CRFG chapters, including — happily — ours. Now he has agreed to come back and speak to us on the best ways to turn those cuttings into trees... often in a matter of weeks!

PLUS while Jeff gave an excellent talk on air-layering last August, Bruce has offered to speak to its specific application in figs. As you may remember, Jeff felt Memorial Day to July 4th was the best air-layering window so right now is a perfect time to put it in action.

PLUS PLUS Member Carlos C has been experimenting with fig hybridization and will speak to us briefly on that topic.

PLUS PLUS PLUS Greg and Bruce will be bringing supplies so those members who have signed up to participate in hands-on propagation can get started on the spot. Anyone else (member or not) who is interested can join in for only a $5 donation for materials. Please let us know you are coming though so we have enough scions, cups and dirt (and chairs!)

All around a great meeting is in store for you. More details at https://wla.crfg.org/hey-whats... where you can also read about our Rhubarb Rodeo now underway and contact us with any questions.
