Well... my figs are getting evicted from their current home.  I have to let some of my backups go and find homes for the others.

Unfortunately I have to selling one of Bass's Barada.

This is ~1yr old in a #5 pot, bought the cuttings from Bass in Jan'15.  Turns out I already had bought a Barada in '14... a small lesson to all, beer and ebay don't mix. 

Anyway, its up for sale. If anybody is interested in it.  Its a strong grower, all the fresh green is this years growth and its going strong.  It will produce figs this year.

On the website this sells for about $35-45 (i think) from treesofjoy and shipping is ~$15. 

$100 and this is yours, I prefer local pickup. I live in the Berkeley area.  Please PM me if you are interested.

Happy figging!

Sorry to hear that, Tarek. Did the Italian 258 layers root?

Hey Gary,

One of them did, I tried to rescue the second but it didn't make it.   I transplanted it into a pot, paced it on a heat mat under some lights over the last two months and now its growing happily on Sarah's back porch.  She was gracious enough to take some of my experimental rootings to use as root stock, in exchange she got an I-258.

Thanks again, I was able to try only one of the figs it had, it was quite good.  Despite the pot being wrapped in chicken wire, the others were stolen by a squirrel, whom I subsequently relocated to another county.
