This amazing tree was pruned and i have many cuttings to share. Did you see inside the car also!
Sunday EDIT:
The cuttings are from an no-protected tree in nasty Seattle Weather, it sits in the east side of a tall house, getting not much light from very near by houses - The only sun it gets is that morning sun, believe me, we donot have many morning suns in Seattle.
All I am asking is, those interested in receiving the cuttings, is to compensate for postage. I'll send regular USPS no track, and everyone gets it, about $3 for 2-3 cuttings.
I will pack today, there is no room in my refrigerator for all these cuttings, please claim yours.
2nd EDIT:
Please indicate if you want more than 3 cuttings, and I will use the post office flat rate box full, that is about $6. Your choice, I just chopped the branches and have more than 50 juicyand healthy cuttings, with some looking like could easily be instant trees, but not sure how to ship those, would need a larger box. From now, I have them in a bucket with water, in my basement. Tonight, I want to get them all ready to travel early next week.
MONDAY EDIT- OVERWELMING RESPONSE - so many packages to process and close. I still have many more to finish - so many PMs that becaming a bit confusing for me, please be patient with me. I should have been more prepared, but I did not cut them the same size, so, making individual wrapping is time consuming. I will pick up more flat rate boxes at the Post Office today. I am very short in cash for over 60 packages, even at $3 and $6, it adds up, so, please send me the postage as soon as you can. Hope everyone will receive them by the weekend. They are properly stored and well cared for now.
DESCRIPTION: No pictures of the leaves of the fruits of this tree, but this is is how the owner describes them, other than this, we'll have to wait and find out:
"They are Adriatic figs and they look just like the ones in this photo.

The tree is extremely prolific and they mainly ripen between August 15-31. "
APRIL 3RD EDIT- RE SHIPPING/postage/ CARING FOR CUTTINGS UPON RECEIVING THEM:
1- With exceptions of a couple, all packages went out today! Huge task I had no idea how time consuming and overwelming this was - too many packages! ALL PROMISED TO ARRIVE ON 4/5.
2 -I charged over $180 in postage to my credit card, so I need you all to send me the amounts we agreed, if you need to confirm your amount, please send me PM, I'll review the Post Office's receipt.
3- WARNING: The cuttings have not been pre-washed, so please give them a good bath of dish soap with a little bleach to kill any insect eggs that may have survived the winter in Seattle. Do that in warm water, not to shock the cuttings. Trim a tiny bit from my cuts, if they arrive in 'dry' paper - should have some moist in. If they arrive dry, after washing, give them a chance to recover by soaking them in warm/tepid water for about 20 min before you put them in rooting chambers.
Taking these steps does not garantee that they will root, but it will help keep any bugs that may had taken a ride with them.
Wish good luck to you all.
- STILL SOME AVAILABLE but they are about 3/4 to 1" - can send them in a $5.80 flat box
