2 Desert King cuttings - FTGH

Another free to good home.  Doing some more spring trimming. 

I have two thin cuttings about 5 inches long with 3-4 nodes.  Althought thin, these cuttings are much thicker than the cutting I started this tree from last year.  Both cuttings to one person.  PM me if interested.  US only.  No charge for the cuttings or postage.......paying it forward.  Note for those of you without the figgy wasp, you only get an edible breba crop.  Description from the Figgy Forum Variety pages below.

Origin Madera, Calif. 1920. Large, skin is deep green, minutely spotted white, pulp strawberry red. Sweet, delicious fresh or dried. Commonly matures good fruit without caprification near the coast. Tree highly vigorous. Hardy, best adapted to cool areas. (023) (075) (026) (026a) Excellent coastal variety is unique in that it produces a heavy breba crop, which ripens early, followed by a light fall crop. Delicious sweet large green fruits with strawberry colored flesh. Does best in the North West and other cool areas. A vigorous growing and hardy tree. (1158)

Yeah, Yeah.....I know, DK is for cool weather areas, but I couldn't resist the experiment.  This year will be my first year for the breba crop.  We will see how it goes.
