I've been stalking a few houses with figs for a while. All of these are in zone 6 without protection. Today I knocked and was able to collect cuttings. I have 4 varieties to share.

The first is U. Italian Nyack Purple. Unfortunately I do not have any info on it except it's color.

Second is U. Italian Orangeburg Purple. Again I have no info on it except it was planted at the house 50 years ago.

Third is one I have posted about here before. U. Italian Sorrento. It is an Italian Honey type, yellow and Honey Sweet.

The Fourth is U. Italian Yellow Westfield. This one is from the house that the mother plant of Sorrento is from. The one fig I found was frozen, under ripe, and rotten. When I broke it open it smelled like Strawberry Jam. Mary, the 86 year old owner, said it was even better than Sorrento.

I am offering 20 package of these as a cold hardy collection. Nyack (2) Orangeburg (6) Sorrento (4) Westfield (6). This is a total of 18 cuttings for $25. PM me if interested.

8:00 Saturday night 5 packages left!

PM sent. 

Thanks for the offer, they sound great.

Sounds like a great offer Aaron, some of the new members need to take advantage.

Aaron, great and generous offer as always.

Very kind of you to make these available. 

Great offer.  A nice collection of figs for cold areas.

8 hours in and still 10 bunches left!

Aaron, I have sent you a PM. Thanks for offering them to forum members.

Aaron, if they are as nice as the unk Yellow Greek you sent me, that is a really sweet offering for zone 6 growers.  I would love to have that combination, but as new to figs, I don't want to take on too much getting started.  Nice offer for sure.

Very kind offer, thanks!  I've sent you a PM, too.

LOL Scott.  Space is a problem for me.  I have cuttings from 4 different generous folks on this forum and need to learn the best way to propagate these first.  Overwintering will be a challenge here and Aaron's offer is so tempting and really encouraging the way he put the offering together from unprotected trees.  I am amazed at the passion, willing to mentor,  and generosity of the forum members here. 

The offer is tempting.  Space is also an issue for me.  I already have 8 unknowns under grow lights now, and have already allocated my remaining grow light space to already incoming cuttings.  I have no idea where I'd be able to propagate these cuttings without incurring spousal wrath.

It's Monday afternoon. Still a few packages left. Mailing first round today.

Those sound great!!

Awesome, I cant wait to get them started.

Guys - store them in the fridge until May then root them outside.  Don't miss out!

why wait until May? If I start them now I can have figs next year :):).. Well, maybe. :). I made a hardy chicago for someone last winter and gave it to them in the spring. was only about a foot tall. They got 5 figs and the tree is 4 ft tall in one season. Obviously not all varieties are the same though .

I have a Greenhouse in my garage, I'm going to give them a head start.

Aaron, thank you.  Arrived today in good shape!

I'm surprised that I still have 3 packages left, but I do. These are well wrapped, just toss the entire package in the crisper until you are ready to root them. Last 3!!!

I also have a few six packs of U. Sorrento and U. Italian Westfield Yellow. I can do either of these two for $12 or both for $18.

I am surprised you have any as well Aaron.  The sticks I got from you were nice healthy cuttings.  This offer looks like a wonderful offering.   I mentioned to you that I would love this, but don't want to overdue my newbie status take on more than I can chew.
I am in zone 6a and very few folks here know anything about, or growing figs here.  I am trying to spur interest in our area and offer free starts to promote this wonderful fruit here. 

PM sent. Thanks.

bigbadbill,  If your PM was to get cutting from Aaron, you will be happy with what you get.
