I uppotted a just rooted cutting and decided to take a photo of the roots. I didn't expect to see so many along the stem.
Nice roots!

Kidding aside, nice to see roots the length of the cutting like that. In order to get that result this year I started using an exacto knife to nick up the length of the cuttings...with an exacto I can shave the bark to expose just the cambium layer without going too deep. I then apply clonex gel. Results have been very good (with figs too) though it's more time consuming.

I don't see any signs of you doctoring the cutting in any way, did you?

I haven't used any hormones. This is more like the live or die approach. I think the trick is to pot the cuttings as soon as you cut them, like with figs, the freshness makes a big difference.
