He's not a legend yet, but he will be. He has a chance to restructure how and how much the fig hobby will grow and cost. I am a mango enthusiast and usually, in Florida anyways, a new variety is not released until there is plenty for all. Almost all new varieties are budded onto root stock and mass produced until there is reasonable supply to make sure the price is in line and there is enough scion and root stock for the next round of supply. It is uncommon to see 3 gallon trees selling for more than $50 while most are going for $25-35, and will bear fruit the following year. You say this is like comparing apple to oranges and I say no it isn't, it is comparing figs to mangos. Seriously, we may need to rethink the way we propagate a distribute fig trees and I think that James is showing us a starting point and let's be creative and look for other means and methods. I think that our good friend Dennis has stimulated a tremendous interest in rooting using cloning machines, I just purchased a 64 unit and many other members are doing the same. Good luck everyone and come up with some creative ideas that will allow everyone to afford and have any variety of fig that they desire. Good luck and good growing.
