Green cuttings are very hard to propagate. They need a high humidity level 90 plus percent. It can be done it just can't be done in open air like lignified cuttings can. They dry out too quickly. There's a fellow on YouTube that propagates them.
Wow 🤩 you do have a lot of fig varieties and your doing really well growing them 🙌🏾 I do suggest covering your air-layers with foil. Roots form underground in dark, so by covering your air layers it tricks them into thinking they are underground and should produce roots 🙌🏾
Great looking orchard, I look forward to a tour! Thanks for the mention on my Black Tuscan. This has been a weird weather year, all of my figs have been ripening EXCEPT my Black Tuscan. Hopefully soon, the weather is warming up again. The figoin you brought me is doing great, I hope I get at lease one to ripen this year, we'll see!

Cover your air layers with aluminum foil. The roots don't like the sun
Olga lives close to me. I have been to her house, she has nice collection of figs. I bought some fig trees from her.

Where do you get your figs trees? I live in Orland Park il.
