If anyone happens to be in New Hampshire for the Autumn foliage season aka leaf peepers , I'm considering thinning my herd of figs of the doubles and triples I have of some nice varieties. For pick up only : I have extras of the 5 gallon sub irrigated pots of : Gino's Black Paradiso Bronze JH Adriatic LSU Scott's Yellow (New Brandy) Kathleen's Black Malta Black Hollier LSU Improved Celeste Lyndhurst White and perhaps a few others. Also 1.5 gallon pots of some like : Marseilles Black vs Sals el Excel etc. 5 inch pots of some others. Any interest and pricing questions send me a PM. It would be nice to get them to good homes. Sizes of 5 gallon plants are like some of these earlier posted pics.

Kerry, I googled it and its a 7 hour ride. Just a little to far. It's tempting, because I've never been in that part of the country. Seeing your photos of plants, I know whoever gets them will be happy. Or 99% will be. luke

Drivewayfarmer: What do you do with your figs that you keep after the five gallon buckets, besides planting them in ground? I was just wondering if you keep on trimming them so they can stay in the same size bucket. I've got a lot of 5 gallons going now and not sure if I want to move up in size. Even the grower pots are expensive and it will be hard to move around. __________________ Wish: Sbayi, passiflora incense, quadrangularis or others

If you can't get rid of them and will just chop them down, I will be glad to take some cuttings, but I'm not local to come pick up. __________________ Canada Zone 6B

Are the varieties in the 5 inch pots ones that are small enough that you would consider shipping? I am in the Midwest, so I wouldn't be able to stop by for pickup. __________________ Zone 5 Wish List: Moscatel Branco, Black Brazil,

Kerry, I know you sent a few prior extras to some of us who begged you, and it was hard for you. I appreciate the trees I got, and they are doing very well. But I wonder, could you list locally in Craigs list? It's free, you know! And for those of you that would like him to ship. It's very expensive and labor intensive to do so, so know that you will be paying a lot for shipping, if Kerry decides to do that. Live plants weigh a lot, and are not small. Kerry is the best driveway farmer I know! His figs are awesome! Suzi __________________ Zone 9b, Southern California. "First year they sleep, Second year they creep, Third year they leap!"

I don't have time to ship right now , partly because work has picked up and partly because I am so slow at packing and shipping plants. I may ship some small ones if I can find the time once they are dormant , but don't know if that will happen right now. Got to give lots of credit to those who ship alot and are set up to do it well , like Jon , Vasile , Bass and others. Just posted because Fall foliage season here draws so many people I thought there may be some fig types among them. Not in a rush to get rid of these , but it would be a few less to store for the winter. Figfinatic , Some of these 5 gallon will be root pruned and moved to 25 gallon pots. The rest will be root pruned and returned to the same 5 gallon pots with new potting mix with the expectation that they will yield less , but well for their size. Root pruning a 5 gallon rootball is very easy compared to my 25 gallon pots. __________________ Kerry Zone 5 NH Wish list :Galicia Negra , Col de Dame Blanca/Negra .
