Luke very happy that you were able to find him and get those trees, you will be as well!! 

I'll give them a try.  Ordered the Champagne Fig, LSU Gold, & Stella fig.

Lukeott,
I hope that they are correct.

 I introduced the Bisirri figs to Bass and a few other members of the forum a few years ago. Mr. Bisirri's is very close to my work place. I first met his son (Joe) and we talk almost an hour. I first purchased the purple fig. Then a few weeks later purchase the white ( so it said on the tag). Later that season, I found out that both are purple. So I returned to Bisirri's to let them know about the problem. Both figs being purple. I spoke to Joe again.

Here is the problem that I have found.

1. Joe told me that customers and their children mix the tags up when putting tags back in pots. Or it could be the person's that work there re-placing the wrong tags in the pots.

2. Also said that family member and friends have (the one 's that are from Italy) visited and have placed their fig cuttings in the nursery. So they maybe from the same region but not from the 4 fig trees grown at the nursery.

3. I purchase another tree last season that was marked white. Well, that one is purple also.

But, what I have noticed is that the three (3) are different. Or at least the seem that way to me.  I will have to ask Barry and Dan to stop by to check this out. Just to make sure that I am not crazy.

So this season I stopped by and finally spoke to Mr. Bisirri himself. I told him the story. He felt sorry for the mix up. He offered to have me stop by when the white figs are ripe and share them with me.

That is why I numbered them until I get the correct figs from that nursery. I am sorry if I have confused any or all of you.


The Bisirri family come from Ascoli Penco Marche region of Italy. Mr. Bisirri came to the U.S.A when he was 5 yrs old ( he is in his 90's I think).

I am sure that the Bisirri family is trying to do everything possible to sell the correct figs from his place of birth.

Jazz, thanks for the story.  It's all good!  I am just excited to have one of the Bisirri's.  Maybe one day I will get lucky and get Bisirri 1.

thanks!

Snagplus,

P.M. me

Hey Jazz, So your saying there are more types then the #1 and #2 ? I was under the impression that there were only the two. The plot thickens. Would sure like more answers. Can you post pics of both so I can compare with my trees? I will look and compare with nelson20vt but as of right now seems not sure which one is still alive. If not we will find out when fruit ripens.

Just recieved my 3 figs.  

Awesome job!   The quality of these plants are very good.   No visible signs of FMV.  Very nice leaves.  Packed well.  He predicted they would arrive on Thursday and they got here 2 days early.  

Lots of good email coorespondence prior to shipping.

I potted these up on Tuesday and put them right outside.   They are fine even with the 100 degree heat we're getting.

Water them and keep them in the garage for a couple days and then gradually move out into the sun.

Look real nice BTW.

I think they are used to the heat, after all they were grown in the deep south. They do look like greenhouse grown plants to me though, so read Rafed's advice again and follow it or you may get some burn on the leaves.

They aren't even phased by the heat.  I got lucky I guess.  

John just e-mailed me.  He just added moreavailability on his figs.   Checking it out tonight.  

Guys, I got problems!  Wife's at the point right now where she just chuckles at me.

A chuckle is much better than the "Silent Treatment"
