I have brunswick cuttings available. looking for northland, English brown turkey, ficazzana or anyothers that I don`t already have.

I am asking Canadian menbers because I need varieties that are good producers in our climate, I am in Ottawa and my brunswick trees are 5 years old and produced over 250 figs each  this year and there are no border shipping restrictions.

Jose are your trees planted in the ground? wow!

Give me a season or two and I will gladly trade lots with you Jose.  Right now...nothing is big enough.  Sorry I'm just too new, but looking forward to it in the future!

I apologize Jose. I promised you last winter but things happened in early February (stroke) and I could not do fig things until early May when plants were greening up.
Today I was caught by surprise of -7C forecast tonight and -9C forecast tomorrow night with plants still outside. I got some help to rush in bringing them inside the garage telling them not to worry too much because figs are forgiving. The result is a tangled mess.  However I have taken some other cuttings for pending trades and can spare some cuttings for you. I knew I have to take BT_English cutting for you but today's rush means that the BT-English cuttings will be provided in spring for sure but some other ones can be sent sooner if you PM me with your address.

John  No my plants are in pots I also started some in ground but no fruit yet.
Dave  check your mail this week.
Akram  If you want brunswick cuttings let me know, as for the English BT whenever you are ready no rush.

Thank Jose, I have Brunswick among my fist 4 purchased from Grimo Nut Nursery located on Niagra on the Falls in Canada. Sorry, it sounds like an ad but it is not, just that they are so organized as business should be.
Sorry for my mis-action/delay in giving you cuttings of BT-English.

I'm new to fig growing, but in a year or two I will trade for sure with you!

Hi Jose,

You produced 300 figs from a fig tree in a pot! Wow. Very impressive. I'd be interested in some Brunswick cuttings and am in Vancouver. I have D King + a mystery fig( probably BT) which produces a bountiful crop( for the tree  rats!) Both my 15 year old trees had less than 10% of branches die back in 2009 when we had minus 15 celcius super wet soils + wind chill. The King produces 200 + tasty fruit every year in a marginal site. I have 10 other one year olds from Dany in Quebec and have more on order + am seeking more locally, so will have some variety to trade...

Cheers,

Ivan

Jose and Akram:
I'm not in Canada, but right across the border in NY state, also zone 5.  I've got some EBT cuttings and could send you Jose (I'll just have to check out the right way to send to Canada... if you know the right way then let me know in a PM).  Akram I see that you'll have some for Jose in the spring, but I can send 'em now (and maybe helps you out with the other stuff you're helping research for me too).  Send me a PM with address and whatever other info you have, and I'll get you EBT, maybe a couple others that do well in zone 5.  If you're OK with non-Canada I mean... I'll talk to post office to find the good way to do Canada / US crossing.

p.s. Any of my Canadian friends heard from Nelson lately?  Hasn't been on the forums for a few months.

Yes, I had exchange with Nelson recently. He is well but currently very busy due to job change situation. He wished well for everyone.

Thanks for posting that Akram.  I was hoping he was OK... had written to him but hadn't heard back.  I'm glad he's OK... hope the job works out for him.  (Tell him hi if you talk with him again soon).

Jose, let me know your addr in a PM.  Thanks.  Probably you'll get more offers here too...

Mike

@Ivan -- thanks for helping my friend. What varieties are you looking. You can easily get lots of Brunswick cuttings in Vancouver. With more rains here, Brunswick split & sour real easy. I would be weeding out more fig variants and you are most welcome. Not that they are no good but just trying to focus on fewer. Just a note -- the only variants that really works here are DK, Latarrula, Osborne Prolific. There is another variant that works well here and I could not remember its name. Unfortunately it is so inferior in taste that it is not worth having. HENCE if you want cuttings on many other variants, drop me an email. A greenhouse would certainly help if not it could be discouraging. Latest trial seems to indicate Ronde de Bordeaux is promising.

Yup, Nelson is very busy with his job.

Hey Paully

Would that other variant that does well but is inferior be Gilette ?

John

Bulls-eye John.

@ jose -- I have a Ficazzana from Grimo and it turn out to be Latarrula. It could be due to mislabelling.
I finally gave tree away this year after making sure it was Latarrula for at least 3 seasons.

Just wanted to throw my name out there also for us "Canadian Figgers!"! lol  Hopefully this time next year I will have lots of cuttings available thanks in part to some kind fellow members sharing with this fig-newbie and also from placing an order with Dany that I look forward to receiving.

Hi, I am just over the line in Vermont and want to know how you protect your in ground trees. Rex

Thanks Paul! I'm going to crank up the Desert King propagation this winter and would be pleased to offer any of your friend's or "friend's of fig's" plants in 1 gallon pots. I think figs that grow well locally should be as common as apples.

Jose, if you are unable to find DK or BT cuttings in your area I could certainly help. Paul mentioned that success is higher in the late winter/early spring so that might be a consideration for you. The propagating I did earlier this year was great in late January into mid March but it seemed like when the buds first started waking up the success was reduced. Another factor is cost: Canada Post charged me $15 to send Four 8"-10" cuttings by regular mail to Tyler in Ontario! 

Ivan   I have a DK Plant that dropped both 1st and 2nd crop this year I am giving it one more season if the fruit drops again the tree will be dropped from my collection.
   and English BT cuttings have been offered to me by other menbers

oldvt.....i wrap them with burlap nice and tight then two or tree layers of fiberglass insulation and hold it together with styrofoam insulation taping the foam together in a triangle and a larger piece on top tied not taped as well I dont  tape the top 6 inches so the moisture escapes.


tyler  r u looking for cuttings.
