I went by the Ace Hardware on Scott Blvd yesterday to pick up some replacement blades for our weed whacker, and holy crap is this store insane! This particular store is apparently one of the top 10 in sales for the country, so they sell some really bizarre things, like chocolate truffles, products from the Savannah Bee Co., decorative shawls, etc., along with the standard hardware you expect to find.

So of course I have to look and see if they have any good looking figs while I'm there, and what do I find alongside some Brown Turkeys and Green Ischias, but three amazingly healthy looking Panaches, all of which had started setting some good looking fruit! I don't know if they are in all area stores, and after getting them in on Thursday there are now only two at the Scott Blvd. store, but if you're looking for a cool, striped fig without having to pay for shipping, I highly suggest checking it out.

 

 

Tamar, nice find. If I didn't already have one I would make the trip.

Wow, that is great! Wish my local stores had any figs!

Oh, this is awfully tempting. I have been thinking about a Panache, I have always loved them, but the problem is my small yard. One more fig and I am likely facing a divorce!  :-)

Darn! I wish I was in town :/

Sweet find.  Congratulations.

Hi tamarness,
How much for the tree ?
Panache is a late ripening fig - Panache doesn't fit the job in my Zone7 - except for decoration.
