Almaria Italian fig cuttings

I have green 12" cuttings available, three for $15 plus flat-rate priority mail shipping for a total of $30. Original fig came from Belluno, Italy, about 70 miles north of Venice.  Ripens purple. Very sweet.
Not shipping outside the U.S.

Looks great Ed

Any better pics of leaves, and cut pics of the fig?

And can you tell us anything about how this fig came to the US?

Thanks!

Those are all the pix I have.   It came to the US with our former Italian neighbors in NJ.  When we moved south to VA in 1982, I brought a tree in a bucket and planted it here.  I have been taking cuttings and rooting from it every since.  Belluno Italy is in the northern part of the country in the area of the Dolomites.  I have no idea if the variety has a name.  Our neighbor could only tell me that his cuttings came from his family's property that has been in their family for over 200 years.  I have named it "Almaria" because the couple are Al and Maria.

Hi Ed,

Dio you get one or two crops, and when do they ripen for you?

 Thanks, Mike
