Hubby and I went to Zaino's yesterday. They had quite a few fig trees in stock, most were Monrovia grown. I bought a Corky's Honey Delight. I didn't really know anything about it . It's description was green fig ,amber center, sweet with a back note of honey, two crops . Figs are firm , juicy and of excellent quality. Prized for it's vigorous growth and bountiful harvests . How could I resist? Besides a good size tree was $59.99 - great price! This tree has a good amount of small fgs on it already. There were a few threads here on Corky's , all good ! So I'm a happy girl today - __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi

Great score Pattee! That tree is hard to come by here on the east coast. I may be heading back to Zaino's at some point soon as I think this winter may have killed all my bigger trees even though they were in my shed. All my little ones were in the garage and did great at least. __________________ Wish List:St. Rita,LdA, and any unknown heirlooms

Johnnie, they had about 10 of Corky's if I remember right . Sorry to hear of your trees . I have about 5 larger trees that have nothing on them as yet (potted). I'll keep the fertilizing and watering up until late summer - hopefully they will come back at the roots if nothing else. Funny, all my little ones did well too. I lost 1 for sure and a few others are still questionable. Keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck this season and at Zaino's! __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi

I have never heard of Zaino's but will have to check them out. I see they are not too far from Hick's so it may be worth the trip and stop by both places. BTW. My 2 in-ground trees (which I never cover) are just starting to show some new growth at the base. Nothing up top yet. Still have fingers crossed. __________________ Bill Long Island (Nassau) 7a,NY Wish List: Sicilian Red, RdB, JH Adriatic, Sal's EL and any fig from Bari.

Bill I haven't been to Hick's in a while let me know if it's worth a trip there will ya? Zaino's had Atreano gold, Mission, one or two Italian purple/red , one Italian blk, Kadota, Brwn turkey. The Italian varieties were grown from their own stock which may or may not have been from BC cuttings , it's been questioned. Their prices are good. The other varieties were Monrovia grown. Happy hunting! __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi

Sounds like a great purchase, P. I'll look forward to seeing the pictures. I myself scored a similiar purchase at a nursery here in Athens, Georgia - a very healthy LSU Purple with many baby figs on it for US$29.00...cheap, I thought! I would post a pic of that new tree, but for some computer reason the forum won't allow my pics...it says they "exceed the maximum file size of 1 mb." Need a solution for that!

Joe Athens, If you took the picture with an iphone, you can email the pictures to yourself and pick the small size - this will dramatically lower the size. Otherwise, load them into a photo editor and resize/save with smaller size. Andrew

Thanks for the "hot tip" Pattee. My friend just picked up 2 from Zaino's, one for each of us. I tried pretty hard to get Uncle Corky's last year and really had no luck. Thanks again. __________________ Wish List:St. Rita,LdA, and any unknown heirlooms

Hi Pattee, Good find and a good purchase . Just check that the ties to the stack are not too tied and loosen them a bit for the trunk to be able to thicken. __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

Hi JD, thank you , yes , I planned on taking the plastic restraints off . I use the velcro instead and keep check on them to make sure they don't girdle the tree. __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi
