Hi rfamilystore. Figs should grow very well from cuttings and you shouldn't have any issue with getting them to strike. Although I haven't actually tried it myself I have spent many hours controlling wild figs having escaped into a natural wetland and spreading like wildfire by layering and striking new plants

They grow like weeds from cuttings very easy to strike

Yep just stick 20cm end cuttings in the dirt in winter/early spring and keep soil moist. Rooting hormone and covering with half a plastic bottles to control moisture loss helps but not needed. I have a high strike rate with figs.
