Desert king in australia?

Hi all
does anyone know if this fig is available in Australia? would love to get a cutting or plant after reading and seeing it on youtube (Ben B channel). 

sorry dont really have anything to swap at the moment as ive just started out. I do have a St dominique fig but its only 1m tall and probably wont be bigger enough to get cuttings till next winter so happy to swap that or if anyones interested in any happy to send them some next year.

thanks

Hi Friend:

I live at PNW, only handful of fig tree can rippen it figs properly due to cool summer, just not enough heat... we have many "Desert king" fig tree in our area.

However, I doubt that it is a very good choice for your area, My co worker, He pocketed some cuttings to Malaysia during his Xmas trip 2 year back, He told me that "Desert king" grows very fast in Malaysia, only complaint is that, it has sweet figs for 3 weeks/year only while other ever-bearing common type of fig tree giving out sweet fig for about 10 weeks/ year.




Here is my Desert king in South Australia, I get both crops to ripe see link below.
