--- Maltese Beauty trade question

If one wants to get a Maltese Beauty, what would you trade it for?
It seems the people who have it, already have all the best figs already so is there such a thing as a trade here?

I paid top dollar for Maltese Falcon Cuttings. Now I'm brown bagging it at work. It's all about priorities.

Are Maltese Beauty and Maltese Falcon the real names? The reason I ask is I am getting Tin San Gwuan, and I was wondering if those were alternative names?

I've tried bidding on those Maltese Falcon cuttings on eBay, I went up to $50 on one, but it sold for $112. Today's auction sold for $107. I just can't justify that much. So I'll just have to wait.

Aren't there other names for them from UNC Davis?

Thanks, Pete! An honest request it is then.

Bob, I like your sense of the fig hobby dedication!

I imagine a major newspaper headlines after the trade deal and a caption, " a fignut from the SoCal traded a new car for a few rare fig cuttings. After a few days of the very successful rooting in a golden box, one cutting succumbed to the mold, the other, potted earlier, was defeated by the little flying devils (aka gnats) and perished quietly. They will be missed by the figs4funforum members dearly. The owner is heartbroken and is collecting donations for a new truck and a case of some nice beer."

Oh, well, the life is full of surprises. Maybe one day, instead of winning a car in a lottery, I will get some MB, grow them and THEN trade some for a new car :)

Maltese Beauty is not available from USDA/UCD. CdD USDA/UCD has is CdDB. I-258 is listed, but they are not available for distribution. Black Madeira is available. so.. if you want Maltese Beauty, CdDG, CdDN, or I-258, you will have to pay arms and legs or someone generous will heave to help out.

I am sure Jon/Bass etc should be able to help with the Col de Dames & I-258.
