Dennis, Do you have cuttings of something to trade?  If so what?  Or do you simply wish to pay for postage?

Hi Dennis,
       I looked up your area on the USDA hardiness Zone map and they indicate that Sussex N.J. is Zone 6a (-10F to -5F). Hope that helps, and good luck on your search for that "certain" Italian fig.

funny that i don't have any dark italian figs. i need to get some. it seems like i lean more toward light figs.

durio nursery occationally has two italian figs that lot of the members were looking for. i'm not sure if they are available right now. i asked for them for father's day this year. didn't hear from them till month later. by then, i'm wish list changed.

Italian Black, and Native Black.

Dennis, I got a bunch of Italian Unknowns from a member here, but I stupidly didn't put the name of who sent them to me on the baggie.  OMG!  They have ALL rooted and are leafing out.  I don't know if they are dark, light, or anything in-between.  They are babies, but they are in their double cups and growing daily!  If you would like one of those, just send me a PM, and I'll send it to you for shipping.  This is a living plant.  No longer a cutting.  A baby plant, but it's alive!!

I have some dark Italian fig cuttings that have started to root,the mother tree has been growing for at lest 50 years,and have not been protected for at least 25 years,and the tree is a block from the beach.So it is hardy.email me at victorlamonica@yahoo.com and give me a address to send to. Vic from N.J. I have far to many.

 I want to thanks all the people for your help and offers. This is the first time i put a post in but been member for year, this is great
