from today

This is the poor original tree that has been cut back for reshaping and propagating








John

Looks good. Gonna do that to the second trunk too?

Yo quiero a rooted-cutting of "NIAGARA BLACK",  por favor.  (No FMV please...from a clean tree).

Willing to trade:

"Kathleen's Black" - dormant wood...limited
"Schar Italian" - dormant wood...limited
"Red Italian" - unidentified - dormant wood...nice little black-red, sweet fig.  Hardy Zone 7b.
"Atreano Gold"-Belleclare - dormant wood...unprotected in Zone-7b
"German Black Giant" - rooted cutting - (just one).


Thanks, for the consideration.  Either PM me, or, e-mail: fdvpiano@yahoo.com

Ruben , yes I need to so that energy can go to the one I cut down last year . I may cut it down all the way .
Anyone interested in 2.5 to 3 inch diameter cuttings ?



John

Hey John,
that tree and those figs look so good.

John....

Thanks for the cutting offer, but the border will be the problem.  I was hoping for a rooted cutting from a grower within the US...if, they are available, at this point.

Can't wood be sent through the mail in a plain brown envelope?  Too bad everything is so complicated...but, there are good reasons.

Fig season in Toronto is coming to an end and most of the trees are stalling out . Three varieties are going strong still , one is NB.
In fact the sweetness and flavor is more intense with the cold weather that has been in the mid to low 40s at night .

Sorry Ruben , I just had to.

Starting to ripen


Getting there


Now thats ripe !!!!


A look inside 


Close up , super dense and flavorfull


Compared to a quarter


A platefull of other good figs that try but just dont compare to NB.


Thanks John

WOWee wow, now I know I have to have one of these !!

That is one sexy fig! Thanks, John

Hello, I'm live in Niagara Falls. Why don't I have one of these babies??? They look great and I can't wait to try the layering technique.
