I have 30 varieties for exchange.

Hmm, seems this thread was resurrected but I don't know if the author is watching.  Does anyone else think this looks awfully like Yellow Long Neck?

Hello,

For fellow members interested in the Kashi-Yellow Giant fig, here is a url that provides a very nice graphic summary of the climate of Kashi (Kashgar). http://www.xinjiang.climatemps.com/

I was in Kashi a few years ago; it has a lovely, picturesque old city with a very friendly Yughur population.The climate is definitely arid.

Cheers.

He kindly gave me a sucker last spring, and I planted it in ground. It grows quite vigorously. I was able to sample a couple of figs last fall. The figs were indeed quite large, averaging ~100gram, with pretty good taste. Of course, my 6b climate may not be really ideal for this variety. But, still, it is a keeper for me.

Here are some pictures, enjoy!

It does seem.a lot like yellow long neck / long yellow. I know that there is a lot of chatter on those, but I got a tree of Vito's long yellow this year and the fruit looks like pictures I saw of that one. 125-175 grams, similar flavor and does well in cool climates. Looks similar too.

Hello....I will love to have this kind of figs..If possible could you sell me some cuttings? and for how much.. Thanks..

I will trim the tree in Nov/Dec when it goes dormant, and will probably have ~50 cuttings available. I will share the cuttings with fellow forum members who are interested in this. You pay a small shipping fee.
