The trees were in their chicken yard and had a fence around them to keep the chickens from getting up in them and eating the figs. Those yellow figs would get twice as big as the brown ones. The trees are long gone now. Sure wish I'd gotten some cuttings off those. I've never seen another one like them anywhere.
I don't. It sounds like a calimryna or possibly an adriatic fig? I'm rooting Hunts and Violette de Bordeaux. The hunts are large and greenish yellow with rose tint and the Violette de Bordeaux is large but dark.

The best time is in the spring after the mother plant has set its leaves. You have to give them time to root and stabilize. They are fast rooters so you might still have time to do it if you took some smaller cuttings that could balance themselves out before they shed their leaves. Cuttings I used were about half again the size of a pencil and I think they have now rooted enough where I can take the plastic off and let them get used to the weather.
