Are you getting paid to advertise Olya's listings?

Half of Gordenia's posts are promoting her trees, which are rare and nice, but like most members, I will just have to wait until they are not so rare and within my price range. In the meantime I will just have to settle for CdDG,N,and B, Figo Preto, Black Madeira, Maltese Falcon and Beauty, etc, etc, etc...... I remember how rare they were at one time but now I have them at an affordable price. They may be not be so rare anymore but I really don't think any of the new "rare" varieties will compare with their taste. Now saying this, I believe that Olya(Olga) has some pretty rare varieties and she deserves all the dollars that she can get for cuttings and starter plants. No one has the connections that she does in obtaining the rare varieties. So if it is a must have variety then start bidding! Good luck Olya.

Brian just posted "Olya's listings" so, therefore "her trees" referred to Olya. not you.

My mistake...........

It just seemed a little weird that's all. I have spoken to Olya and she is great. Most of us find these RARE trees to be out of our price range. However,I am in now way bashing your efforts to raise awareness of her trees for sale.

I see that members post information about reputable sellers and ebay auctions for rare trees, can not understand why it is "little weird ".

It's ok not to understand. Little weird meant consistent hype towards Olyas eBay listings. No biggie good luck with your trees.

Gordenia do you know anything about these varieties? Many I had never heard of before to know if they were any good, or just foreign.

It was a reason for my post- to ask for any information about this varieties. I was not able to get any information, so I get an idea that those  are rare trees.
No information from members  either.

Too late for questions, almost gone , seems like all of them gone to the same person.
 Congratulation!

Whomever won thoughs figs congrats! 

Answer to all members who sent PM's- nop........I was not a seller.

Nick and everybody else: these are rare varieties from Puglia (Heel of Italy). They come originally from trees sold inside Italy by an excellent nursery called "Punto Verde." It is not by any means clear how these cuttings have been obtained, since they do not ship outside of Italy, not even to other European countries. Punto Verde is propagating figs from an underappreciated and very worthy fig micro-climate called "Il Salento." Pomona Gardens (Paolo Belloni) are leading the way in preserving the figs of Salento, much like Mr. Pons in Mallorca.

nice videos,,, I just wish I had clue what they were saying.

Anyone ever hear of shill bidding?

I am kindly asking all members to stop sending me emails regarding this topic. I do not even know any of the people you telling me nasty story about.

I do believe that we all have to be informed about sales of rare figs, but I refuse to discuss an insinuations about folks involved in sales.
” Who, what and why” is not in my scope of interests. I am into plants not into personal affairs.

Thank you again for understanding.

Did not I just ask you to stop all emails? Please........

Are you making this up? Who would email you?

Brian, I don't think she is making it up.

I just hope mine fruits this year!!!
