Hello, I've been a member on here for a little while now but don't believe or remember if I've even introduced myself yet. Well a little about me, I love growing fruit bearing trees. It's quite addictive but it's been all worth it. Its actually come in handy, especially in this economy. I was laid off about 6 months ago and have had to rely on my fruits when I had no choice but to look for ways to cut corners and pinch our budget. That's actually how I started looking into figs. Figs have had a good reputation for being very productive and in short time.
A couple of days ago while cruising threads, I came upon one awesome thread where a member had this room full of cuttings being rooted. When I asked how such amount of cuttings is acquired, I was given the advice to introduce myself and other advice was to trade. Unfortunately, none of my trees are large enough to take cuttings from. I currently placed fig orders through One Green World and Willis for Lsu Gold, brown turkey, Mission, Hardy Chicago and Desert King. All are still very small and not bearing fruit yet.
Fast forward a couple of days later and driving around town I spotted a gigantic fig tree. I can't explain to you how exciting that felt. I will finally have cuttings to play with.!!! While taking cuttings, I thought of my forum members so I took extras. These figs might be brown turkey, but whatever they are still fruiting and ripening despite the snow and frost we've had. Fruits were not fully ripe but were suprisingly very sweet. I could only imagine how the ripe ones taste.
I have taken many cuttings and would happily love to share. All I ask is you pay for shipping.$6. I've never shipped cuttings or know the cost, you can just send me the amount stamped on the envelope. I am also looking to expand my collection so a trade would be lovely and actually appreciated instead of shipping. I'm new to this whole trade thing so please forgive me if I'm doing this wrong. Please PM me if interested :)
Tree is over 20 feet, heavily branched.
