I won't be able to keep it lying there on the gravel for long enough for it to root
I'm thinking about moving the limbs to a different section of the garden that has actual soil for it to root. How long will that take?

We're all talking about different methods.
My method of layering, (just tossing some soil over the limb) requires that the limb remain attached to the bush. Usually takes a while... like months... If your limb has detached from the bush... My method isn't going to work.

Rooting cuttings requires cutting off most of the leaves and all of the fruit.

I haven't tried rooting fig cuttings... Or the method that tapla is advocating... I always go for the simplest method that I can get to work.
