What that is, the fashion police?
Glad the photo didn't show my Bermuda shorts, Wills.


Thanks for the booty!

Re: Socks with sandals. I chided my wife for this the other day and she told me it was vogue. It reminds me too much of orange overalls and shackles to look fashionable to me.

I am going to calendar to watch out for this deal next year this time, Frank. I really like your list.

Frank, I haven't forgotten about your tree. The one air layer set but it did't take off like others did and it died. I haven't forgot. I'll set you another one and send it in late Spring or sooner if I get one to root in my propagator.

Dennis, no worries. JD bequeathed a large Smith to me over the summer, so I'm good. I was just wondering if the CaBT produced yet. Mine is about 5 feet tall but no fruit yet. Can't wait.

Dale, let me know if there is something specific you were looking for from the list. It is never too late, although if I have to look at one more cutting today, I think I'll throw up.


Whew, thanks Frank! Mine hasn't fruit yet but my Improved Brown Turkey did again. You mentioned getting a Smith from JD. Man, I have several Smith trees. They are my unspoken favorite. I've been collecting them!

There is nothing wrong with rock'n the socks and sandals. It's the perfect foot wear for the transitional seasons.

Preach it Cal! I get teased pretty bad by my friends and family, it's all good though lol, but there's no doubt they're comfortable and convenient

and it reminds me of pre-game when I played high school football *walking off the bus, helmet and pads in hand, sandals off - cleats on, it's game time* ...so they're nostalgic too...

Thanks Frank.  The cuttings look good.  Thanks for going to the trouble to do this.

The cuttings arrived today! They're already in my "rooting chamber". Yeehaw!!! Thanks Frank

Very nice cuttings arrived yesterday, Frank. Very kind of you to include extra. Thank you again!

Received my cuttings! Great Looking Cuttings and thanks for the extras!  : )

The good news is, Frank, that the more you do it the less work it is.  The first year I sent out over 150 boxes, then less than 100 and this year less than 50.  The market is getting saturated.   :)

Dennis, what color is the inside of your Smith figs?  I got one from JR and the inside is amber but someone recently posted one with a red inside.

I got my cuttings today Frank, thanks! Didn't have too much time to look at them, I opened them just enough to see they were wrapped in plastic then closed it back up and put them in the fridge. I'll deal with them next week.

Bob,
You definitely want to scrutinize your supposed Smith from JR.

Bob, mine are red inside. I must has 4 or 5 Smith trees. They're ugly but to me, they taste like Black Maderia.

Drat!  First the Atreano, now the Smith.   :)   I hope my luck improves soon.

Thanks for all you do, Frank!

Thanks Jimmie, good to see you posting. Looking forward to seeing you over the holidays.

Angela, I am out of a few varieties but should have plenty left of the others for you. Email me.

Hi Angela, welcome to the forum. Please start a new thread and introduce yourself for a grand welcome from our members. You will be surprised at all the help that you will receive. Also, Charlie, the great fig experimenter lives in AR, a good figster to get to know. Good luck and good growing.

Thanks Frank. This is always my time to recharge, heal (when necessary), rake leaves, make compost, and plant leafy green vegetables as the fig leaves fall and fruit trees go dormant. So not much posting but reading threads that I have missed.

Hey Frank I got my ccuttings in the mail last week:-) Sorry about slow feedback, holidays and all. I just wanted to say a huge thanks for how generous you were! I'm stoked! I've already got roots on one of the tena! Happy New Year to you and yours!

Today I had time to finally time to tend to mine. Nice cuttings, good condition. I put half of them in a sphag bag and decided to follow your experiment and try the other half in coir.

Thanks and happy new year!
