Does anybody know about getting a Panache tree in Austin, TX?

I could try to order or buy cuttings, but I would like to buy the whole tree if I can, without babying a cutting into a tree for the next three years. 
I have seen fig trees for sale at nurseries and places like Whole Foods but they are all things like Black Mission or Black Italian, Texas Everbearing. I actually have a bunch of mystery figs, I think Brown Turkey or Celeste, or Texas Everbearing, that I grew from cuttings I took from a neighbor's fig, but the figs are usually dry and not very good. 

I think I am probably going to end up getting a cutting from somewhere, but I don't really know where the best place to get them is, either. It's not really the right time for cuttings so if I go that route I will plan for it in the fall, but until then I thought I would ask here, to see if anyone knows where to find one.

I got a couple panache cuttings from harvey on ebay. They are healthy and on their way.  They are currently available on ebay.

Jon should have it. Ecanto farms. He is the owner of this site

You can google "Dave Wilson Fruit Trees" I ordered a Panachee from a retailer over the winter. I pretty much did my best to kill it. It may survive but no thanks to me.

Keep your eye on eBay.  I bought a panache tree in a 1 gal container last year.

Hi,
Why don't you try the Rimada ?
Rimada is said to be bifere - when Panache is unifere .
I know I know ... I went for a Panache, since Rimada was not available in the nurseries here ...

I have never seen this variety for sale in Austin.  Online is your best bet, I would check Encanto Farms first. 

A few years ago, there was an outfit named "Sol Nursery" selling fig trees among other plants/trees at an outdoor market on Burnett about a mile or two south of 183.  They carried Panache.  They would advertise their sales on Craigslist.
