Mario's Fig Tree Cuttings Available

Hello everyone. 

I will have cuttings available from some of Mario's trees starting the first of the week. We will have the following 4 varieties: Dottato, Salce, Acciano (AKA Paradiso Nero), and Troiano Calabrese.

Mario was in Italy this year and one of his family members clarified to him that the real name of the one we'd been calling Paradiso Nero is actually called Acciano (Ah-chee-ah-no). It's nice to get this clarification.

If you're interested please contact me via pm and I will get back to you.

EDIT: Thought I better insert this edit here. I just want to make sure that everyone knows that Mario and I are offering these cuttings for sale. Just something we started about 3 seasons ago and it has worked out well for us as well as for forum members. Not trying to fleece anyone just trying to get a little return on the hobby :). Just wanted to make that clarification. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks.

-Bill.

Looks like I should have asked everyone to email me instead of contacting via PM. I think I made the same mistake last season. The PM box will fill up very quickly here on the forum and becomes a little hassle to keep deleting off stuff to make room for more messages.

So, if you're interested in cuttings please Email me at wildfruitnut@yahoo.com

If you don't hear back from me right away don't worry, I will get back to you soon.

Thanks.

-Bill.

Hey Bill, really nice of you to make this offer. Email and address sent!

This is really one true figs-for-fun stuff offer...

Wow, very generous of you and Mario. Thank you!

Email sent, would like to pick up some additional cuttings.

email sent Bill, thank you.

Email sent. Tqvm for the offer

It's nice to see that nobody's passion for figs has diminished at all :-) ! I'm getting a bunch of responses already. More than 50 so far. It will take me awhile to get back to everyone but I will do so in time (and in order of first come, first served).

There are a lot of cuttings available but it will take me some time to process everyone's "orders". Just re-iterating in case you don't hear back from me for a couple of days :) .

I also have a few pics that I took of some of these varieties this summer. I might find time to post them in about a month ;-) !

Salce and Acciano are among my favorites so far. 

Bill,

E-mail sent.  Glad to see you posting again.  Was wondering what had happened to you.

Such a wonderful thing to do. I'll be making an offer in a week or so, for forum members for a couple of varieties, gotta pay it forward.

This may be helpful for Acciano pics.

This is wonderful!! Email sent.

Wanted to post to let everyone know that I am going through emails and replying on a first come basis. It's gonna take awhile but I'll get back to all of you in time. The cuttings are all being stored in cool, proper conditions so they will be nice and viable for a long time.

Steve, nice to know I was missed :-). I've had a busy summer and it's shaping up to be an even busier winter! It's all good though.

Calvin, Thanks for posting those links. 

Bumping because of edit I made in post #1.

I will send an email. Thank you!

Bill, what's the price??

Thanks, Soni. I am still waiting for my email. The price is quite reasonable
