This listing is funny on several levels

LOL You're right, pretty funny. First question I would pose is why is he chopping branches off his tree now? It should be full of young figs. I will say though, that my very first fig tree was given to me as a stick in a glass of water and there it stayed until it had roots. Turned out to be a great tree that I had for about 12 years until it froze. 

Just for the heck of it I emailed this guy with the question, "Will the figs ripen once they are put into the water?"
His response was," yes they should ripen".   lol. It's unbelievable how low a person will sink to make a buck on unsuspecting people.

And only 10 bucks PER cutting!

I'm brand new at this, and even I know that $10.00 a cutting is a rip off!

Did he say where he was in Queens?

Dominic i dont recall if hesaid queens but i think he was. in nassau county.

The top of the page said New York followed by Queens so I figured that was the location.
