Hello Forum,
  Hopefully someone here might be able to help me out.
  I am in the market to buy a St. Jean (a.k.a. Grise de St. Jean) tree. 
  My mother is turning 80 next month.  She loves fresh figs.  Her name is Jean.  She raised 8 children (including me) and is, therefore, a saint.  I didn't have to roast too many braincells coming up with this idea for the perfect gift ;-)
  If anyone has a St. Jean they might be willing to sell, please PM or email me to discuss options/terms.
  Ideally I'd like to get a tree that is small enough to ship (or pick up locally in NJ area) but that will likely bear at least a few figs this coming summer.  It will be grown in a container, not planted in-ground.
  A yearling tree would be my second choice.
  Finally, if getting a tree doesn't work out, I could start with some cuttings...but they wouldn't be gift-worthy until next year.

 Thanks in advance for anyone who can steer me in the right direction (either on the forum or a retail nursery online).
Cheers,
Jim

P.S.  There is currently an offer on E-Bay for a St. Jean available in Great Britain, but I'd like to avoid any surprise visits from the USDA later this year!!!!

BUMP -- to get the weekend viewers.
Any & all leads would be appreciated.

not this yr. if USDA/UCD sends cuttings, maybe in next 2 yrs. i'm sure some members have this.

Jim, I just recently started rooting some cuttings of Grise St. Jean but they won't be ready for at least a couple of months.

There is an ebay listing of grise de st jean not in britain currently up. I think this is a really nice idea by the way.
