The aim of work was to verify the influence of different ambient, apical bud and indolbutyric acid in the rooting of fig tree apical cutting. Woody cutting of fig tree apical was collected in August, standardized with 20 cm of length and without leaves. The treatments were constituted of cutting with or without the apical bud, immerged or not in solution of IBA at 2000 mg.L-1 for 10 seconds and two different propagation ambient (green house, with temperature around 27±2°C and 85% UR; telado, constituted by sombrite at 50% of brightness). The cuttings were conditioned in bag plastic (10 x 20 cm, capacity of 650 cm³), filled with substrate soil and sand 2:1 v/v. After 60 days, rooting and sprouting percentage, number of leaves, sprouts and roots emitted the cutting and sprouts lengths were evaluated. It was ended that the green house represents the propagation ambient ideal for fig tree apical cutting; the apical bud should be maintained in the cutting; there is not need use of IBA.
