Looking for col de dame gris and col de dame noir.

I can trade some Sal gene's cuttings... or pay.

Thanks!

I don't have cutting of this variety and never looked for it because it is mentioned to be a late ripening variety. I hope your (eventual) growing it in the north-east in CT will provide some good information to others in the NE. Good luck.

I let a few varieties go dormant for a couple months, and then put them in a controlled setting where they get southern exposure.  This year was the first that I've tried this, and so far, one variety has grown a good foot, and another one has 3 fairly healthy figs on old wood, while its sent off a ton of growth as well.  Wish I had more room, as does everyone.

Thanks!

It is Friday and I hope by the end of the day you hear about your "$50 million jackpot". Good luck. Until then watch the winter Olympics in BC  before the snow melts under their feet if it is that hot.
