Figherder,
I believe the tree must be 50-60 years old, but I'll try to find out when I talk with the owner.
As for the cuttings - no, I didn't take any. I'm currently growing 5 unknown varieties that I found, and unfortunately I don't have enough room for more. So unless the figs are exceptionally good, I'll pass. There's no end to this, I see figs everywhere and just can't have them all :(
