Hello my name is Luke Lamparelli and I'm new to the forum as well as the wonderful world of growing fresh figs. I live in southern CT and as of right now only own a four year old celeste and a three year old red sicilian both of which have produced quite well this year and have mind blowing flavor and texture. I'm out to learn all I can and eventually have enough fig trees to feed the world. I'd like to thank everyone involved with the forum for sharing all this useful information as well as being friendly.  I'm looking to aquire as many cuttings of as many varieties(except brown turkey,I just can't bring myself to like them) as I can afford so anybody looking to get rid of some please send me a message and we'll take it from there, I'd greatly appreciate it. If there's anything I can do for anyone on this site feel free to message me as well. Thanks again, Luke.

Welcome to the forum Luke!  Thank you for your nice introduction!  I'm sure members will contact you with cuttings.  Tis the season!!

Welcome!  I am up for trades...

I'd happily trade, unfortunately this year I won't have any cuttings. A lot of people in my neighborhood have fig trees and I'm getting ready to go ask them if I may take/buy a few, I will defintely let you know what happens.

Luke , Welcome to the best Fig growing forum on the planet . 

Welcome.  In early Feb Jon, who hosts us, sells cuttings from his vast collection.  That's the easiest way to get a bunch.

welcome to the forum :)

Welcome to the forum Luke

A warm welcome to you Luke.  You picked the right place for fig info and trades.  The folks on this channel are the best.

Lookie here, Lukie....

Welcome to the Fig Forum.  This is the place where you want to be to learn everything you will need to know about growing figs.  Forget the text books....here's where it's at!

Guess what...you have some fig-growing neighbors in your part of the woods.  List your area, and climate zone...and you'll get some contacts started, I'll bet.


Good luck with your fig-growing endeavors.  These are the easiest, and most rewarding fruiting tress that you will ever grow.  Next season can't come too soon!

Best regards,

Frank


PS....Forget most varieties and concentrate  on those varieties that will ripen in our short-summer climate.  I learned the hard way...  Experimenting is fun...eating ripe figs is even more fun.

Sending my welcome your way Luke !
