E bay seller,selling false Ronde de Bordeaux.

Hello Kerry, No they didn't give a name. Just said they were educated in the ag field. I think there were others contacting them also.

Lmao- watch how the price go up. I want to win it so I can share cuttings when it is ready- free. Especially with members who have been so gracious :-) So long as my check clears! Hehe... eBay "I love it and hate it". If anything more reason to let me win. Hint hint..

Hey Guys you know  what is your problem?? I'll let you on a little secret, you  all are full of BS, nothing more then a bunch of presumptuous self appointed know it all, that guy on eBay gave you the right answer, get a life!!
Your life evolves  around figs or a fig trees, what a disappointing, unfulfilled life you must have.
I feel so sorry for you, and please do not respond to my statement, it will just make me not like you even more, do yourself a favor, go to one of your precious fig tree, pick one of your precious fig, make sure is a green one (not ripened just in case i confused you), smear the milk from the stem  all over your mouth, your lips will then swell up and you will not be able to speak, that will help you to shut the hell up.

Wow!  Is this dude the seller?  Some attitude!!  Glad I'm not bidding on it.   Seems like he's not so good at English grammar, either.

Giampalulo, I am responding, I don't want you to like me. We don't have people on this forum as vile as you, you should go away. Grow something more akin to your personality, like say poison ivy

Giampalulo,

You stated as the fig being an RDB and for all you know it is genuine RDB. Perhaps the person that sold it to you got you?

There are many of us that have this fig. I have two of them.
Your RDB is nowhere near to being one ( RDB ). We all can't be wrong.

Take it for what's it's worth. But just know this fact, Your RDB is false. And I'm sorry to say you have been taken.

Thanks Herman2. Good advise. I would never buy such a quality tree from an unknown ebay seller.

Gotta love people that rudely butt into conversations that have nothing to do with them and of which they have no knowledge or background in. Must be a hoot at parties.

Hello Giampalulo, the person who recently told you that your tree looks like a RdB but different because of sunlight was only doing that to cause problems here. Are the mother planted deep in the woods? You say they are exposed next to your driveway and I see blue sky behind the pictures of fully ripe figs hanging on the tree. You may not know that this variety routinely goes for $100+ and is in very limited supply, but now you do. It is easy to imagine that someone would misrepresent an unknown variety as a valuable one to make an easy profit (over $1500 in your case with 15 trees). I hope that is not your intention and you will provide more photos of your tree so that it can be identified or named a unique variety and you can sell it in good conscience. Hopefully this is a big misunderstanding. You will find everyone here friendly as soon as you calm down.

Giampalulo could you do me a favor and grow up!!!!!!!

What a coincidence seller of this so call RdB and Giampalulo  are both from NY.

 just thinking,
if someone knew their figs, it would not take three weeks to identify a variety, just like if you hand an experienced cabinet maker a piece of  wood it does not take 3 weeks for him to know what it is, colour, grain, wieght,  he knows what it is. There are some on this forum who know their figs, who have spent years growing and studying them, who have more than many degrees worth of knowledge.

i don't know.. if cheating other people out of their money is called "life".. not sure if i want to have that "life".

i don't have "life", but i do enjoy going out and picking my figs. nothing like going home after full day's work and being greeted by well ripen fig to pick me up and put smile on my face.

As stated in another thread, there is a certain decorum on this forum and even in dispute, the cream rises to the top.  There was also a statement about profanity being the crutch of conversation cripples, I REST MY CASE!

If you or any other "presumptuous, self appointed A##&*^$ tells me my cuttings are wrong, I will pull the ad until I can determine the truth, then attack the self appointed, in self defense of course, I would show the source of the expertise.

Last I checked Cornell was a great Hotel/restaurant management school, for some reason, the school doesn't come up very often as a center of study, or expertise in agriculture, botany, or any of those other "farmy" things, now we know why, LOL

OH, BTW, giampalulo WELCOME TO THE FORUM

Sorry but my decorum was misssing last night, rough weekend

A sense of decorum still requires stating the truth, which you did, "REAL GOOD", LOL

Informal poll; Anyone care if giampalulo doesn't like you?

Jon, please do not block this great source of entertainment.

Cornell is a very fine university - one of the best. It would be my guess that 'counsulting with someone at Cornell' is a bit of an exaggeration, to put it kindly. Judging by the presentation of giampalulo here, his obvious distain of experts, does he really seem to be the kind of person who would seek help from the halls of higher learning? And if so, how was that done? In person with plant in hand, via email with photographs... The story does not make sense.
