6 Cuttings On Wish List

Here goes


CDD - any 
Varnea nero
White triana or Smith
Lyndhurst White








A couple of my most wanted are already waiting in the wings, so I won't re-list them. The current goals are:


Black Beauty 10 (just something to look forward to on that far-flung fig horizon)
Smith
Joe Morle's White Triana
Hardy Chicago (I have received an offer on HC; thanks very much!!)
Native Black
Kathleen Black

Bugs..when you say Strawberry do you mean Strawberry Verte or Strawberry Jam?   And it could be that I don't know there is one just called "strawberry".

Thanks, Sara


Edit: 8/18--from Bug's note he is seeking a fig that tastes like strawberry jam..so wouldn't that be the strawberry jam plant, or possibly panachee?

There are several figs with 'strawberry' in the name.

Want to get really confused?  See this thread and note post #59 on page 2.

I don't know if you confused Sara but, you really have me confused.

Sara I just read of other members in the forum talking about a fig tasting like jam and was calling them strawberry fig. There just so many fig by the same name. I do not know what  is the difference between them. But if you have either or both I would be great full if you wanted to share. PM me with details.

Thanks Bugs





Updating my list.... These are listed with my highest interests at top, underlined blue varieties are hyperlinked to more info.

Pratt Purple (Still looking)
Col De Dame Noir (Still looking)
Bass #8
Bass #7
Bass #5

Violette Soleis (May order one soon)

I'm sure a lot of people don't know about the Bass numbered varieties yet, I'm not sure they're in circulation at this point (only Bass would know). 

Jason,

My CDDN rooting nicely as of now. If you didn't find this variety this year, I can send you couple of its cutting next season.

Oh, I should have remembered that.  I'm sure I can find something else to wish for.  Thanks Alan.

Hey Alan,

What type of figs do good for you in Vermont?Thank you

Alan,

I live near Bennington, the southern tip of Vermont.  My son lives in Burlington, and I've promised him some cuttings.

All ten of my trees were overwintered last year in my cold cellar.  I brought them into the cellar in October, after they went dormant, and put them in the coolest part of the cellar.  It stays between 35-40 deg F all winter.  I brought them out in early April, gave them a good drink of water, and they had leaf buds in a week.

I haven't had any problems so far, except that the cuttings I made last summer didn't survive the winter.  I think the root system was not large enough to carry them through dormancy.

I have, Atreano, Sal's #1, Marseilles VS black, Triana, blk Paridiso, Violette de Bordeaux and Brown Turkey.

This is a update to the figs I'm looking for.


1a. Col de Dame noir, Gris,or Blanche

2a. Black Beauty # 10

3a Cajun Honey

4a. Maltese Falcon

5a. Black Madeira (Without FMV) Willing to purchase or trade.
Our Marseilles Black VS, and Violetta Bayernfeige had to be pruned the heaviest last fall.

1. Hanc Mathies's English Brown Turkey

2. LaRadek's English Brown turkey 

3. Golden Celeste *with tan pulp

4. Hanc Mathies's Atreano

Is this a good time to start  new thread: 6 Cuttings On A Wish List /2011  ?

Kerry
In my view it is better to update the individual wish list in the current thread (showing Edit Date:xxxxx) above the list.

Starting a new list may leave out many whose wishlist is still valid but may not be able to re-list in the new thread.

But that is just my opinion.

It's just about "cuttings time" so here are my six:

1) Ronde de Bordeaux
2) JR Sicilian Black
3) Native Black
4) Kathleen's Black
5) Martin's Black
6) Smith - mine was a casualty of Hurricane Irene :(
