Fig trees wanted

I am working on the fig orchard in my backyard. The lot is 100 x 300. excluding some structure, still have plenty space to grow hundreds of fig trees.
Just put almost 300 trees in ground last week as natural fence. I'd like to grow various varieties. Most of my trees are very small to go into ground this year.
So anyone in NY, NJ, PA, CT area who has large fig trees at least 3 ft tall and cold hardy to zone 7? 
I can either trade or pay. It will be better if you have a lot of tree to fill up my pickup truck.

 

You might want to try Bill's Figs one day and Edible Landscaping another.  Zainos is another option. 

Bob, Thanks, I am going to visit Bill this weekend. Plan to go EL in Labor day weekend. Zainos is new to me, will definitely to check it out.

What varieties does dons figs carry? I haven't heard of him.

don's fig? never heard of it. I will do some research. Thanks

Can't find dons fig in google. the only thing is this

don purkiss is located at 960 croton rd.(rt. 579) and has brown celeste, brown turkey, st. anthony,white marseilles and gillette. he's "old school" and a great guy to talk to. I live nearby and would welcome you visiting me and my collection; will have some trees available at the end of the season. it would be nice for those of us located close by to get together and visit each other. I suggested the forum start a google map with everyone's location, but never heard back, regards, joel

I have visited several members in NJ, NY, PA region. They are so nice to offer great deals that I couldn't resist. It's also the best way to expand collection and learn new tricks.

Thanks Joel, if I did head up there I would let you know.
