Hey guys, just for the fun of it, how about listing 6 cuttings one would desire for the season and see whether Santa brings good news. Well my 6 variants are :

Rei Branco
Cendrosa
Bellona
Red Lebanese
Valle Negra
Corynth

Trades welcomed. Merry X'mas & Happy New Year.

Paully, great idea and Merry Christmas! My six are:

Noire de Caromb

Italian 258

Wh. Triana

Sicilian Black(JR)

Native Black

Col de Dame Noir

Tim, you only listed 5 ;)

I purchased a rooted Popp's Purple in January.  A kind figfriend send a bareroot JH Adriatic recently.  I think I have a line on a Sicilian Black airlayer.  Still interested in Violette Soleis, CdDN and Pratt Purple, but I still have a wish list (on next page).

Jason, thanks for catching that! I fixed it now,lol, can't believe I left off the CCDN. Merry Christmas to you also, and all the great fig folks here!

Almost anything from Belleclare. I think I only have about 10%.

Visit Bass in PA
Visit Herman2 in NJ
Visit Adriano's in Tronto
Visit Sue
Visit Jon
Mega celeste
Sucrette
Vasilika sika

Merry Christmas to all!  Praise HIM!

Paul,
If I had any of these variants I would for sure send them your way.

Tim,
Didn't I send you White Triana?

Jason,
I may be able to help you with the Pastiliere. I will check when I go home.
I think I have a cutting or two in the fridge. Just not 100% sure.

Dennis,
I have Mega Celeste but too small to take cuttings. Maybe in the Summer if you haven't spotted one yet.

I am in search of and as you most are aware is: Noir De Caromb.

Merry Christmas to all.

Rafed,

Col de Dame Noir
Kathleen Black
Late Black
Papa John
Popp's Purple
White Triana

Feliz Navidad!

Rafed - I think I have a Pastiliere on the way, but it's still on my wishlist until I have a live plant ;)

My wish list changes every time I read a discription of someone else's favorite fig. But, just for fun:

Kathleen Black
Malta Black
Ronde de Bordeux
JH Adriatic
Maltese Falcon
Sal Corleone

Happy Holidays everyone!
Susan

Thanks to Paully for starting a good thread. Hope any Santa reads it in time:
Here is my wishlist:

Here are my six on the wish list
Jolly Tiger

Ottawan, you will get an air layered JH Adriatic if my plant survive the winter. It seems Noir de Caroumb is Kathleen Blk. If this is the case, I can air layer one too. I have Smith but it is pruned down to one 8" limb for cuttings to other fig friends. I will see what can be done next year. My Negretta for last 2 year is still about 6". Stubborn variant ? Will boost it with my fish compost. Thanks to the huge salmon(33 million) run by my doorstep.

Debbie
I may be able to get a couple of cuttings from my small (1.5 years old) Stella.
Also, I can get two cuttings of Bifara (good size and colour) for you which has already been pruned good this year and spoken for.

heres my wishlist

Albacor
Bacorinho
Barbillone
De La Reina
Sao Joao Preto
Yokneam Black

Wow Nelson, those variants sounds exotic. Good chance I may be able to get
Sao Joao Preto and I would need your help. Anyway I would be sending some cuttings
 of other variants that I forgot like Elana & Tiger(I think) and hopefully U can drop off some stuffs to a fig friend there. Hope you are well & ready to eat all the way to New year after the flu bug.

Rafed....... thanks for the kind thoughts.

Hey Paul no problem, just let me know when you want me to make that happen. Baby Jasmine is doing much better but wife and brother in law still have the flu pretty bad its a miracle I have not gotten it yet. " Knock On Wood"

My list changes almost weekly,

Hardy Chicago
Violette de Bourdeux
Golden Atreano
Green Greek
Danny's Delight

Merry Christmas Everyone!

When I listed my 6 I forgot Tacoma Violet. It would be on my most wished for 6.

Susan

My wish/want list would be:

Updated (6/4/12)  -A BIG THANKS to those who have offered me cuttings.

1.  Genovese Nero
2.  Genovese Nero
3.  Genovese Nero
4.  Genovese Nero
5.  Genovese Nero
6.  Genovese Nero

 

Cathy, I might be able to squeak out a small cutting of Hollier for you with the unknown Morley cuttings I'm sending you in the coming week or three.  My tree is a 2nd year tree, but ... it's still a little shrimpy, I apparently had a pretty severe dieback (or something?) over last winter and it isn't recovering well.

Thank you Rafed!  Keep me posted in the summer for that Mega Celeste.  I am planning a trip to Adriano's in early summer.  I plan on getting some Noir De Caromb cuttings or small trees when I go.  I will put you down for one.

Thanks Dennis,

Adriano is a very good man. You will enjoy the visit.
But as of about a month ago he did not have the "Noir De Caromb".

Just giving heads up so you won't be disappointed.

But he has many, many variants that you will think never existed.
His place is a small place but it's like going to an amusement park of figs. LOL

You will have a nice visit and I truly believe.

Hello Rafed, I was given a contact to get in touch regarding ND Caromb. If I get it, it has your name on it. I am going for a plant. If successful I will let U know. Trading plant for plant in Canada.
