I hear you H,  I got your text your a good man Hershell,  I'll text you as soon as I am finished shoveling off my roof, more snow on the way! I don't know if Fig season will ever get here!

Congratulations Olga!
Hope you kept the mother Dall'Osso plant for yourself? 

Yes:-) 2 of them:-)
They from 2 different places, I want to see if double form same or different.. and post pictures here..
Olga.

Did you see a price now. only in a middle of bidding?

1025. Really?Is it that good?

Really...I dont get it.  I can get a common celeste cutting for one dollar.  I'm supposed to believe this fig
is over 1000X better?  I dont buy it...literally or figuratively.

May be it is just 1025X rare? Which will make sense.

How much will you pay for a unicorn???

Good question.
If you have more -list it. It was interesting fight for that tree. Lets do it again!

Right now I don't have any more for sale..Hopefully I will get more, but don't know when..

Too bad. It seems like it is few crazy bidders this season, nobody will get good tree cheep.

Actually first Dall'Osso was sold for 83$..

Lucky guy !!!!!!!!

Gordenia, I got mine from Olga last year, for $235.00, what  I consider cheap compared to the last one that sold,lol. I'm looking forward to seeing the color of the figs.

Congrats to the bid winner.
I have an article that states that the brogoito Nero or locally known as black Italian has many Clones.

From what I saw the black Madeira has a lot of one lobed leafs which brogoito nero don't.

Anyone growing both can input on leafs, growth character and taste?

Eli, the leaves are as you described. In its second year the Black Brogiotto that I have has failed to ripen any fruit for me. I'm starting to think that mine might need the fig wasp. Perhaps it was stressed being root bound. I just moved the tree to my fig forest, perhaps it will do better as it outgrew the pot too fast.
My Black Brogiotto grew as a single trunk while the Black Madeira is very slow and trying to grow like a bush with many branches. These are two different trees for sure.
Although they were rooted at the same time, the Black Madeira managed to ripen about half a dozen top tasting figs for me last summer after it was killed to the ground. Now that it is all new growth, it is a very promising tree. I wrapped it up this winter in order to avoid freeze damage and allow the branches to build some mass. We'll see...
