Hello friends,
I have two trees being auctioned off together. "Fico Agostino" and "Fico Minervino". These two trees are rooted well, actively growing but small. However, by the time the auction ends they should be good to go. The winning price of BOTH trees will be donated to Francesco who discovered these amazing varieties. As we all know, some evil person or group burned a large portion of Francesco's Fig orchard which has destroyed the mother tree of Agostina and others. Let's help preserve theses rare Italian varieties . This arson has caused a devastating situation both financially and emotionally to our great friend. Francesco has shared all his discoveries with us selflessly and no money in this world can substitute his kindness. However as a community we can do what's in our capacity. The winner will pay directly to Francesco and I will cover the shipping costs. This auction is open for everyone in the US only. for those who are worried to participate in public, can PM me their bids and I will then update it over here as a "PM Bid". This is a great opportunity to acquire two amazing Italian varieties and help a fellow friend out . Bidding starts at US $50.00 and ends on Sunday 16th of July @ 6pm PT(Pacific time)
