Hello All,
Wow, I was overwhelmed by the love that my story on Dominicks Figs brought and I was not prepared for the response. I want every person who wrote to me so far and have given me their address to know they will be receiving a few cuttings when he goes dormant in Oct/Nov. Anyone else who wants a few cuttings can feel free to write to me and I will put you on my list. Many of you wonderful fig lovers have offered to pay for shipping, and with the response I've received I will accept a token amount of a few dollars if you can afford it. I will figure that out after I get the packing I need to pull this off. If money is tight, and you want some cuttings, just let me know. 
Here is a photo of one of the Dominicks I will be cutting from. He is well over 8 feet now and still going strong especially with our 90 degree temperatures here in beautiful New Jersey.
I am still new to the forum and many of you have indicated that dormant cuttings are best for all. I see that now and will guarantee a few cuttings to anyone who promises to grow a Dominick fig with love. It is an dark Italian fig that is absolutely delicious and has been grown totally organically for as long as I've had him.
Thanks for all the great letters, it means a lot to me.
Also... There will be a tree sent to Jon for the foundation. Dominick has made it into the Fig Hall Of Fame and I cant tell you how much that means to me and his memory.
Keep in touch
Coop
 

(((((HUG)))) you.   That's the nicest memorial I ever heard of.  His fig being in Jon's collection ensures it's future.

Nice,  looking forward to seeing the cutting take off.  let us know how much you need for postage

i would love to have a fig cutting if possible.  i will gladly pay for postage.  Dominick's fig Tree will live on and be cared for and loved by many.  Such a beautiful story.  thanks for your generosity.

$5 in cash.
is fine with me

Thanks for all the input. Seems like $5.00 should cover it and be fair.

That is one of the most touching stories I've ever heard.  May Dominick's tree and memory live forever thru others.  =)  I know you have had many requests for cuttings so when all is done, if you have enough to send me a few, I would be very honored to grow and take care of a Dominick Fig tree here in NE Texas.  I will PM you my name and address just in case you have enough.  Thanks for sharing your story and your tree.

Hey Coop,

I'm glad you put out feelers and the community responded. Now the tree will be viable for generations to come. The $5 dollars is very reasonable. Let us know which form of Payment would be best; Cash, Check, Paypal etc.?

Regards,
Charles

I got an unexpected package in the mail yesterday -- a batch of Dominick's fig cuttings and a nice writeup describing the history of the tree and the relationship with the owner.  I was probably one of the last ones to throw up my hand and say  "me too" when the cuttings were offered, and I really figured there would be none left.  I had lost track that I had even asked for some, so it was quite a surprise!  Christmas came early this year ;-)
Thanks Coop!
Cheers,
Jim

I got a surprise envelope today as well. Thanks so much for taking the time and care to share this with us-- both the story and the cuttings. I'll try my best to carry on the tradition!

Todd

I'll send you some of my cuttings and $5 soon. Thanks for the opportunity to keep Dominick's memory alive.

You guys get mail on Sunday?   :)

Hoping to see mine soon - I have a few cuttings incubating already so my system is all set up and waiying  :)

I got cuttings from coop, thanks a lot.

Got my package today and I have to say I am honored to be a part of Dominic's legacy, thank you so much Coop!

You never did say, do you take paypal or do you want cash? This had to be extremely expensive when all is said and done.

I received my cuttings also. Very nice looking cuttings I might add.

Tami, if you got a letter in your package, look at the second page all the way to the bottom for instructions.

I received my cuttings today . I'm thrilled to be a part of Dominick's legacy. Thank you Coop for some very nice cuttings , I'll add too ! I'll be in touch.

Coop

Got the cuttings this evening. Thank you so much for carrying on the legacy. So happy to grow these especially knowing the story attached. I have already shared this story and plan to get it laminated tomorrow so that it lasts.

Thank you Coop. I also received it lastnight.

I keep anxiously checking my mailbox.  Perhaps delayed by all the ice here in North Texas.

Cuttings arrived here yesterday safely also, thank you very much.  Plan on spreading the wealth and story if /when more than one gets rooted.

Thanks again to Coop for the cuttings from Dominick's Italian Fig Tree...I am looking forward to rooting and growing this fig tree with such a wonderful story behind it.

Thanks everybody, this has been so much fun for me. If you haven't received your cuttings yet and have already sent me your address, it should be there any second. Well over 60 packages sent, a lot of work (over 500 cuttings taken from my 2 main trees), but a lot of love. 
Its been worth every second.
Cheers
Coop

Thanks Coop for the cuttings!!! Just sent funds to your paypal account.

Best,
Pat

Yay! I got cuttings today. Thanks coop! I'll try to get some started this week. I'll be sending you $5 back for postage.

Cuttings arrived today, Coop. Thank you so much.

Looks like two of us here in Southwest Washington will have a chance to spread the legacy of this tree.

Funds on the way.
