This thread is started a few months late this time about “Annual Wish-List of 6 most desirable cuttings for 2015-16 ". The reason was not procrastination but concern if it really helps since many members have started listing their wish-list under their signature. That is one way of seeking trade opportunity even though wish lists under some signatures are pretty long and repeated with each post cluttering the posts contents but it is not a big problem if it serves their purpose.

There may be some who have been still resisting temptation for such wish lists under their signatures. Let us do one more time this “Annual Wish-List” thread which may provide them a venue for seeking what they are wishing for in the coming season and provide opportunities for making trades. It provides a single place/thread to find out who is seeking what that you may have available and initiate a trade opportunity by contacting the wishlist poster (by PM/email) telling him that you can provide in trade cuttings of X,YZ in his wishlist if he has any available from your wishlist (or trade in any other way). 

To make the thread efficient, it is advisable:

(i)... To limit your list to only the 6 most desirable cuttings on your wish-list for the year 2015-16.
(ii).. To have only one post per member with the actual wish-list, keeping it updated (received/ not needed anymore) as required in order to keep your post valid.
(iii).. Trade related mutual discussions should be done outside the thread through PMs or email.

 Good luck with your Wish-List.

Here is my wish-list of six:
1- De La Reina        (promised... thank you)
2- Sbayi
3- Maltese Beauty     (promised... thank you)
4- Olympian             (promised... thank you)
5- Galicia Negra
6- Vasilika Mavra 

change; ask what you are looking for in case I have (....or for the cost of shipping and handling if that is preferred).

I have several duplicate trees for trade.  My wishlist includes, but is not limited to (we all know how that goes):

• Grantham's Royal
• Noire de Barbentane
• Petite Aubique (trade in progress)
• Rockaway Green
• St. Rita (trade in progress)
• Vista (received unexpectedly- many thanks)

This really is a god idea, especially for those like me who find it difficult to simply discard things. I will be far happier knowing that my fall prunings will go to good homes.

Same here, Smungung. :)
I'm new to the fig world and would be grateful for any variety that doesn't require a pollinator wasp.

However if I must name names, the following have caught my fancy, although in no particular order:
Sal's EL
Bronx White
Violette de Bordeaux
Lyndhurst White
Peter's Honey
Marseillles VS

I have a couple of rare ones I can trade.  Looking for this one:

• Genovese Nero (the real one)

Hello everyone, I'm new to the group. I am hoping to get some cuttings from these varieties. Not sure how much I am willing to spend, and I don't have anything to trade since I'm a beginner.. but I'd like to know what's out there! My list is all well known varieties as I'm not that familiar yet with many that are being listed on here, but I hope to learn more through this forum!

1. Violette de Bordeaux
2. Col de dame
3. Ronde de Bordeaux
4. Lsu purple
5. Lsu gold (if closed enough for south east Texas?)
6. Not sure yet! Suggestions welcome!

I live in a hot, humid, rainy environment. Close eyed is probably going to be important. The only fig I have so far is Celeste. It has made me very happy.. but obsessed with finding more varieties! I will be growing my plants in pots for the moment.

Well I've knocked quite a few off my wish list through this forum, so I mostly just want to say thank you  again to everyone who helped me out!! I very much appreciate it as a newbie to figs.

But if you had to twist my arm I'm still looking to trial these (supposedly) super cold hardy figs:

Edited to narrow down to one!! (this forum is so awesome!)
Malta Black!

Thanks to many generous F4F forum members over the years I am very happy with my collection of figs. 

My focus is on growing most figs in ground (Zone 6) so I can have a large harvest of figs for family and friends every year. 
I am also expanding the number of container grown figs.  More excellent breba producers and some popular late ripening and personal nostalgic figs.

Current wish list;

- Brogiotto Bianco
- Cavaliere
- Nero 600
- CdD Noir
- Florea
- Rimada

This is my realistic wish list, in no particular order: (edited-trades completed on some on my original list) 


Pajarera
Socorro Black
Melanzana
Brogioto Nero


and any early season fig I don't have.

For trade, I have left a few first year extra plants left and about 30 varieties in second or 3rd year I might be able to take cuttings from.






Of course there is the fantasy wish list, with Gallicia Negra, Genovese Nero, Ischia Black(FMV free) etc ....

Are all dormant branches cuttings?

Hi Everyone, 
Since I live in zone 5, so I am looking for some cold hardy varieties. I am interested in mountain fig because of this, but them seem to be hard to come by :(. This is my wish list in no particular order. I have some figs large enough for cuttings (Dessert king, VdB, Hardy Chicago, one unknown I hope to figure out soon) and I also do ceramics in my spare time if interested (in case your have too many figs). I am obviously willing to pay for shipping and if anyone has suggestions for my area let me know. Just pm me.

Adriatic JH (promised thank you)
Malta Black
Takoma Violet
Stella (promised thank you)
Nero 600M (received)
RdB (promised thanks!)
Longue d'Aout
Izbat an Naj (recieved thank you so much!! :)

If we are talking about just 6 lets go with:

Braçajote preto, Ohra Tabahanosika, Peloponnisiaka Aspra, Skoura Vavatsika, Tseligato, & Vasilika Sika

Hello there is the top 6 figs on my wishlist:
1-Genovese Nero
2-Valle Negra
3-Sumacki (from bass)
4-Longue d'Aout (Promised, thank you)
5-Melanzana
6-JH Adriatic

I will have some cuttings to trade from my bigger trees or I am willing to pay for shipping.

Haha, never enough white figs Brett. Take the Smith off you list bud. I'll get with you later!

I'm also new to growing figs and have a few small ones growing right now. I should be able to offer up some unknown Brooklyn cuttings once the tree goes dormant (see my thread on that) and potentially my neighbors fig which still hasn't produced a ripe fig (late ripening), i will have more details on that when i get a fig and we'll try and identify. I am obviously willing to pay for postage and handling for anything offered. These are some of the higher wanted items from my sig wishlist and in no particular order, obviously i'm new so willing to try different types - these just seem to be on Herman's list a lot and his recommendations are always highly regarded.

Col De Dame Gris (purchased from amazing member locally)
Malta Black (promised, thank you)
MBVS (promised, thank you)
RdB (purchased from amazing member locally)
JH Adriatic (promised, thank you)
Longue D'Aout (promised, thank you)

Awesome idea. If you're looking to trade, take a look at my collection in my signature and tell me what you'd like. I'll provide you with photos of the tree, the fruit (if possible), the leaves, and information about both the variety's source and my experience growing it.
I will have enough propagation material for at least one trade for almost all of my varieties, so just ask about availability. 

Wish list: 
1. Italian 258 (Thank you)
2. White Greek (I think I have it already by the name Stella.)
3. Vasilika Sika (Thank you)
4. St. Rita
5. Zingarella (Acquired the Mt. Etna version - still looking for the Watts.)
6. Takoma Violet (Thank you)
