prusch park anyone?

Anyone heard or been to Prusch Park couldn't find any info on them. It says on Patrick Shafer and Todd Kenedy's Italian numbered fig document that I 258 and is grown locally there, does anyone know if the owner allows cuttings to be taken or has plants for sale?

Here's the document http://www.crfg.org/chapters/golden_gate/Italian%20numbered%20figs.pdf

Here's their website http://www.pruschfarmpark.org/

Heard about it and haven't been there. They do have a small collection of fig trees.

I guess I'll have to stop by and check it out, at least I know they have them.

I've been there several times.  The fruit orchard is maintained by the local CRFG chapters (mostly Santa Clara Valley chapter that meets bi-monthly at the park) and the trees supply cuttings for annual scion exchanges and are not supposed to be pruned by others.  Most trees there are not labeled though about nine trees I donated last year might still have tags on them.  Many of the trees are in poor condition.  Italian 258 is not included in the collection there for some reason but I'll probably remedy that one of these days.  There are about 50-60 fig trees there.
