Why buy an unknown variety from a less known or an unknown source. There are many known variants from many members who sells on ebay.

I would not buy a newly rooted cutting for the following reason  -- new roots can grow so robust in such a short time and this can mean extra challenge to handle when potting. Damage to tender roots at this early stage is not a good start. Cutting shown in ebay picture is ready for immediate potting and not advised to ship around.

Listing is for one cutting, Total price is almost $15 with shipping. Save your money. The variety appears to be Brown Turkey as well.

Wenz, I see from your member profile you are in South East Asia!  The shipping from this vendor says United States so there may be a problem shipping to you.  Even if the cutting made it through customs and international mail I doubt if it would survive.  If it went through Fed Ex it would be fairly expensive.

If I were you, I would start with family, friends and neighbors and ask if they have a tree with fruit you may like, if they are ripe try one and ask if you may take a cutting or two.  This way, you will be sure the tree will grow in your climate and soil conditions.

Good luck in finding a local source and welcome to the forum!


the only reason i want to buy from this seller is, he is offering international shipping,, its hard to find figs seller who offer international shiiping on eBay,, i want to get some of USA variety,,

if its true that that appears to be brown turkey, i will cancel my order because i already have it,,
