I wonder who got the Maltese Beauties.... :)

Looks like the E's were a tough get.

Im happy with what the Fig Tzar granted me but I agree the "E"s were pretty rare.
However !!! The "E" that I was bequeathed is a crown jewel !!

The good thing about listing lots of rare ones is that for the ones you don't get you can be happy with the $$ you saved.  :)

I got about half what I asked for and only paid 1/3rd of what I expected.  A bargain!

Seriously, how could you not wonder what a fig named Gwador is like?  I couldn't pass it by.

Rcantor, I know what you mean. Last year, I got Blueberry Hill just on name alone! LOL! I think it is a seedling that Jon named if I remember correctly.

I wonder if ill get anything. My request was in reverse order. I guess I'd be happy with even one.

I don't think I've ever hit the refresh button as I have since the beginning of Figapalooza 2014. First for the updated list and now for the email telling me what I get. It's nervewracking I tell ya! It is just like an addiction! On a side note, I have a couple gwador rooting that I received from a generous fig aficionado. I ordered one just by name. I think it was Cawla or something similar. It means crow, and I've always been fascinated by crows (as long as they don't try to eat my figs...) ;-)

Good evening everyone.

Still haven't heard anything. 

I only hope that the Dominick heirloom Italian fig tree that I sent to Jon and the foundation this year will some day be offered up to all the wonderfully eager fig folks on this terrific forum. This has been my first dance and what an adventure it was. I am thrilled with a Black Madiera , a St Rita and a Col de Dame Gris
Wowee

Check your junk mail/spam folder.
Ryan, I'm rooting for you.

My alarm clock went off this morning, and the first thing I did was check my phone.
(As we say on this forum) Dag nabit, still no confirmation!
On a hunch, I checked my spam folder...

Woo hoo!
No whammy!

470 C Big Al (2)
578 D Kala Heer / Ghosh
638 B Chikishlyarskii (2)
932 D Zidi
1008 C Hardy Pittsburgh

3024 B Bournabat FN

Got every variety!
Only one cutting of a couple of these.
I have no idea what Chica-Chica-Chica-Ski is, but I have an open mind!
Thank you Santa...um...Jon.

I don't believe all the emails have been sent yet. I did receive  the confirmation of the order when the list became available, But I have not received any email stating what I will receive, and I have been checking my spam folder.

Strudeldog, I am with you. Its is probably a slow tedious process. I received the email stating what I will be getting yesterday.

So hang in there.

Thank you

Curious, does anyone know when Jon puts up his list of trees for sale? Thanks!

Same here - got the confirmation email last week that my request list was received, but nothing in my inbox OR spam folder yesterday.

Guess I have to act like a mature adult and be patient  :)

He does that when he has time.  Lately that means once or twice a year.  Wait until after the dust settles from the cuttings sale and email him a list of plants you want to buy.  He'll tell you what he has right then and keep the rest on a 'want list'

Thanks, I did not know if he does it at same time as cuttings, or only in the fall, etc.

He can sell you plants as long as they wont freeze on the way.  His plants never see truly cold weather so you don't want them passing through 5 degree temps.  Here's the available plant list.  It's several months old so some things will be available that aren't there and some that are there may be sold out.

I requested five or six plants off the list a few months ago... none were available :( 

Via his "want list" link, I sent an updated want listt email for the new year to Jon about 3 weeks ago, so I would assume a want list would be like an order? I do not want to over email him, especially now why he is so busy.

I'm honestly not sure how many cuttings are making it to rooting.  Now that I look back, my order was put on the want list 3+ months ago and nothing has come available.

Just curious - has anyone gotten a notice today about their fig cutting requests?  There were lots of folks yesterday who heard and posted here.  I was hoping to see another flurry of similar activity here today that might mean I would hear about mine soon.
