Have not heard any one mentioning James Robin figs for a while. Is he still selling fig trees ?? 

He is still advertising in the Louisiana Market Bulletin.

My recent experience trying to purchase from him didn't go well.

I sent him money and a week later he still had not sent me what I ordered.  Then I got a call from him asking who I was!  Since I recognized his voice I gave him my name and said I was the one who ordered from him last week.  He said he was headed to the post office that day.  I never received any plants and he wouldn't return my phone calls asking for tracking information.  

He aging now, and he also still talks about his deceased wife a lot, as in he miss her. He not into to figs as much but you may have to remind him a lot as to what he may have if any. ( He forgets sometimes and need to be reminded )

I talked to him last year and can confirm what Saijo said.  He misses his wife, he is getting older and forgetful, the fig thing exhausts him now, he lost a lot of figs due to weather a few years back, and he has not been tending to his orchard and making sure his plants are tip-top/ properly labeled. He is still a very nice fella with a bunch of figs, he is just in his twilight.

Hmmm, forgetfulness or disorientation can happen either because of age and or difficult changes or traumas in life such as loss of lived ones.

Paully  my friend Terry helps him every now and then said he is really not into the figs now I plan on going with Terry and see him in a few Months I will let you know what is going on Joe in Cameron. P S How are things going for you any Salmon YET
