Looking to buy or trade for Alma cuttings

Got into growing figs about 9 months ago after cycling around Rancho Cucamonga, CA and sampling figs in the neighborhood.  So delicious.  As a Canadian now living in sunny Southern California, I wondered how I might be able to grow fig trees on my own property.  So far I have about 10 different varieties that I’ve “sampled” from trees in the neighborhood/friends with a bunch more coming from eBay.

Saw a picture & description of Alma figs in Southern Living magazine last summer and got pretty excited about that variety.  Unfortunately, I received my first few cuttings when I was very new to fig propagation and they fizzled out.  Now I’d like to either buy or trade for some more.  I would be happy to purchase 2-3 Alma cuttings (paying via PayPal would be fine).  Otherwise I have the following that you can select from for a trade – not sure how it normally works, but I’m assuming we’d trade each Alma cutting for one of the varieties listed below: 

1.       Flanders (3 cuttings)

2.       Panache (2 cuttings)

3.       Tena (1 cutting)

4.       Mary Lane (1 cutting)

5.       Deanna (1 cutting)

6.       Conadria (1 cutting)

Thanks for your consideration & help, Mike

Welcome to the forum Mike. I don't grow Alma, so I can't help you out.

Mike we are local, I have Alma growing I can spare one for you...

Perhaps you can consider writing to Frank(FMD) and source the real productive Alma.
His Alma fruit roll is awesome. He grew up in Ontario, living in Florida.

my cuttings were from Frank, awesome growers, 100% success in rooting.

AARON, I am in Escondido, can I buy an Alma cutting from you?

@patriota, I've never sold a plant in my life before. I don't know how to react to this, LOL
Well, I have 5 growing ones, I am keeping the 3 best ones, that leaves with 2 smaller ones...If you wait until they grow bigger I can let you have one. Let them grow more so that are less fragile.
PM me later, I'll keep one for you.

Mike, welcome to the forum!

Aaron gave you the best welcome but I'm adding mine as well.  :)

Alma sisters are spreading their wings,...or legs. LOL

Aaron, when your plants are grown, I am here in California, and would love to have some of your cuttings.  Thank Bro

you got it man, i have no problem with that. Just remind me 3-4 weeks. 

Did the OP contact you Aaron? I have not heard back, wondering if he wants anything else so maybe I can get that Mary Lane someday...

Thanks for all of the greetings folks.  Very nice of you and it's much appreciated.  

who is OP?

It stands for original poster which is the person who started the thread. I heard back and everything is cool : )
