Pete, if you can't make it by fall, give me a shout.  I usually ship stuff once daytime highs drop below the 80s.  If you happen to be anywhere within 15 minutes or so of I-285 (like Stone Mountain), I am happy to try meet up if you can give me some advanced notice.

I don't post much, but maybe I can play the wishing game, too:

rufus,

i can't promise anything, but if you don't get an offer on kathleen black by spring, let me know.

i'll be pruning mine in spring. i'm sending out 3 cuttings and saving couple for back up. if you don't get an offer, i might be able to share one.

pete

Rufus, where in GA are you? Feel like I've asked already but my memory is like a siv.

Hi Jason.  I work in Newnan, but live a little south of there in Troup county.  I have lived pretty much all over Georgia during my lifetime, including not too far from where you are now, when I was at Georgia Tech.  

I never posted my six top wish list figs and at this point I am actually waiting on a couple of them through possible trades.

Here they are:

Black Madeira,
Preto,
Ronde de Bordeux,  
Genovese Nero
Col de Dame gris
Maltese Falcon

Here is my 6 wish list:

1. Black Beauty 10

2. Barnisotte

3. Paradiso Gene (source located for green--thank you)

4. Hollier (source located--thank you)

5.  Ronde de Bourdeaux (source located--thank you)

6. Alma (source located--thank you)

Wishful Thinking:

Cótio, Black Madeira, Col de Dame-any, Hunt, Kathleen Black, 

BC#101, aka Hanc Mathie's English Brown Turkey or any variants of

I don't think I will have scion available to trade considering this is just my first year, but when season ends and I evaluate my plants I will know more...still have some growing to do, you know?  I look forward to the next scion rooting season.  I do enjoy this forum and everyone has been very helpful. 

Thanks and Happy Holidays to All.... Sara

Col De DAME NOIR 

@Rob, amen!!

IF this list is still going. I would take any cutting that will do in Zone 5, 50 miles south of Chicago. I have a Chicago hardy I bought at the Local Lowe's for $2.00. So don't know if I got a pig in a poke or if it is actually a good fig or not. 

Welcome to the forum, mike! In the spirit if the thread, please post a wishlist of the six most intruiging varieties for you personally, you never know when an opportunity may come to have a wish fulfilled.  You may choose to do what some others do, periodically coming back in and editing your wish list as you obtain varieties in your list.

Just a friendly note - having a signature three times as long as an average post is poor form on most forums (bad forum netiquette). It would make threads easier to read if you could condense down to 3-4 lines.  Welcome just the same!

updated list.

col de dame gris
paradiso dusan
white greek
rouge de bordeaux/pastiliere

this is wish list. not i need or i have to have now list .. :)

You'll have to look around about Paradiso-there are several by that name floating around

bugs,

i have what's called paradiso gene. at this moment, i promised all my cuttings to other members in the forum. mine is green one. there is also bronze, and black which i do not have.

send me a PM in spring if you don't find a source. if i have any left, i'll send it you way. but i can't promise anything at this time.

pete

Dominick, thank you so much for your information, being new to the fig forum I didn't know there were so many figs know by the same name.


Pete,thanks for the offer, if I don't get anything this fall,  I will send you a PM in the spring.
