It is tough limiting my wish list to 6 at this point.  So many great looking figs out there....many more than I have time to research.  I have a small but healthy RdB air layer in a small pot that I can trade.  I am not sure what I'll be trimming back with the exception of maybe the VdB, RdB, and Celestial.

1. Galicia Negra
2. Martinenca Rimada
3. Longue D'Aout (Promised)
4. MBVS
5. Figo Preto
6. Smith

The RdB airlayer has now been gifted to another member


Abruzzi
Col De Dame Grise - trade in progress
Danny's Delight - Brown one
Galicia Negra
Genovese Nero
Hanc's EBT
Sumacki - promised, Thank you!

Great idea for a list. Would love cuttings of any or all of the following. Nothing really to trade as I'm just a beginner and my trees are still very small. Would be happy to offer $$ for cuttings and shipping. Thank you!

1. Battaglia Verde
2. Zingarella
3. Italian 258
4. Sodus Sicilian
5. MaCool
6. White Greek

UC Davis Black Ischia

For those who are interested....

Just fruits and exotics just opened up from summer.  Already sold out black madeira (or never had any more) and a couple others, but they've got some popular varieties such as Smith, VDB, improved celeste, champagne, and hollier, to name a few.  I've never done business with them, but my understanding is that they're quite a good retailer.  I got REALLY excited about hollier before I killed mine as a cutting, so I might jump on that one myself.  They seem to have a knack for catering to the hobbiest, or so it would seem.

I was fortunate enough to taste one at Tim Clymers Three Fold Farm, So far the Kathleen's Black is one of my favorite, and one I'm super thankful I already have.

In my book it is premier cultivar.

I got three Fig trees from JF&E last X-Mas all in 3 gallon pots, made it to Colorado in perfect shape, grew and fruited.  Highly recommended!

I may be having a senior moment but I thought that they were not yet open for mail order. The nursery is open the availability may change in October

Their website did say shipping would commence again come September 30th. Nothing on the site had a price or availability until just a couple of days ago. Apparently, they decided to start shipping a little early or at least taking orders to ship a little earlier than expected. Additionally, they're showing a few new cultivars to what they had last year. I have an alert set up for when the Black Maderia is available hopefully it's this year. I have a real Black Maderia I would like to compare it to theirs.   

If anyone is looking for a kathleen black tree I have an extra to trade. It's in a one gallon, pm me.

I also have an extra Kathleen's Black if anyone wants to trade, good-sized in a 3-gal pot. 

Lsu gold
Hollier
Verde/ green ichsia

I would pay for cuttings so i would want from FMV free trees please


    I'm searching for just a few varieties this winter as I have a bunch of 1 yr olds that have yet to fruit.

    Malta Black - promised (10/30)
    Florea        - promised  (10/30)

    I've heard these are all good in zone 5/6.

    All set for this year.

I want a panache cuttings... I lost 2 trees in the last 4 monts :(
