To the first 9 people interested i have 5 cuttings each bagged up. Sorry I don't have any pics of the ripe fig but I can tell you that they are delicious. The flavor is sweet with  a berry flavor. One of the better figs i've tasted. They look like my Hardy Chicago but larger. The history behind this tree is that it came over around 1905 to Beaver Falls and moved to Ellwood City in 1954. This is an inground tree that wasn't covered last year. It was brought from the Calabria region of Italy, Province of Cosenza. I met this fellow 2 months ago and asked if I could get some cuttings this fall. Well he called me last night and had a bunch of cuttings and dug me up 3 starters with root.

I love all things Italian, and I'm in!  I've learned how to root cuttings.  Took some time, but I'm confident, and can't wait to see how this one works!  Love the story connected with it!

Art you have a pm and thanks !!

Art,
 I noticed in the third picture you have a few cuttings potted. What kind of potting mix are you using and how has it worked out for you so far? Curious because I have not had good luck rooting so far.
  Thanks,
   Peter

Thank you Art.

SeGeo was # 9.  I may have more. I will post if so.

Thanks!

If any more are available, I'd be interested.  Thank you!

so sorry I missed the announcement but in case anyone before me changes their mind I'd love some cuttings.

 I missed the announcement, If any more are available, I'd be interested.  Thank you

I know I am late but just got to the computer. Any left overs?

I am confirmed as one of the lucky nine.  When my cuttings come, I'll do the usual and let them root in damp Spangum moss.

I fully intend to pay it forward.  I only need one plant! And I know many of you missed out, so this winter, I'll add a line to my signature of cuttings, rooted or otherwise that I have available.  Feel free to PM me around December or January!

this forum is so cool

To the 9 lucky winners, I sent the cuttings out this morning.Priority mail. Shipping is on me this time. Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks you.

Art, we all owe you a set. 

Thank you Art for your gracious generosity. Owe you !

Art , I received my cutting this morning and have them in damp sphagnum moss in a baggy. I wanted to thank you again for your most gracious generosity and am hoping for the best !! :-)

Just the history behind this fig sounds interesting.
Happy rooting for the ones that got it.
Show us some fruit pic in 2-5 years time...

I believe I was one of the lucky 9. I am happy to share my 5. PM me if you want some of them.
