I would like to hear from anyone who has some "Marseilles VS Black" fig tree cuttings, rooted cuttings or potted plants they would like to share.  I am willing to compensate you for the fig twigs and shipping. 
I am new to this forum and apologize if this is rather blunt.  I don't mean to be.

Thanks,
Bill in Memphis TN

Bill, welcome to the forum!  I hope you find what you are looking for.  This is a great community here.

Hi Bill...glad to have you on board.

welcome. stay around for awhile. MVSB isn't too hard to come by.

Welcome to the forum Bill.

Thank you so much for all of the warm welcomes.  I've never joined a forum before where so many people are this active in the group.

Bill,

It's because we've all been bitten by the fig bug (ie we drank the Kool Aid).  Either run while you can or come join us on the light side (or dark side if those are the figs you like).

Welcome aboard.

I understand the fig bug.  I'm almost, what you might call, obsessed with it.  I have planted 12 new fig trees in the past two weeks and I want to plant a few more.

So far I have these types:
  * - Black Mission
  * - Brown Turkey
  * - Celeste
  * - Chicago Hardy
  * - Ischia
  * - Sal's Fig
and I'm looking for some "Marseilles VS Black" to add to these.

Hi Bill you and I are in the same boat. I have about ten figs starts. myself We are in about the same grow zone. I hang around on this forum to learn and trade when I can.
Best of luck.

Have a big smile to all

Bill, there are MB Vs cuttings for sale on eBay now. I have an abundance of JH Adriatic cuttings rooting well. I think they will do well in Memphis and can get you some next time I pass through. I grew up there and still have a lot of Memphis connections. I had not thought of Black Mission. How cold hardy is it?


Bill

As for the cold hardiness of Black Mission, I do not have first hand knowledge yet, but I been assured by other growers and nurseries mature trees are hardy to 15°F. 

Here is what Willis Nursery said:
"The Black Mission Fig Tree is one of the most popular figs originating from Spain and brought to North America by Spanish missionaries. It is a medium to large, pear shaped, purplish-black fig. The flesh is strawberry colored with excellent flavor. Many experts consider the Black Mission Fig Tree to be the best all-around variety for the south, north, coast and interior United States. Black Mission Figs ripen Summer to Fall."

And Florida Hill Nursery said:
"Black Mission Fig Tree hybrid was discovered growing near a California monastery over a hundred years ago. Because of this fig's high sugar content, the Tree has become a favorite fruit for eating fresh and drying. Can be grown as a tree or as a shrub. Its a beautiful tree when full grown. AAA+ cold hardy, all around great variety."

Ask me again next year.

By the way,  I would like to try a JH Adriatic if you are willing to get me one.  They sound like they are very sweet.
