Does anyone have places or links they can give me that has Fig Tree Cuttings For Sale? All types

I just want to see the variety that's out there

I use Ebay and Amazon and have great ratings, just wondering if anyone have other places that sell fig cuttings, thanks!

Location : California

Also Looking for Black Madiera and Ischia Black Fig Cuttings or Trees, My main Search thanks

Members from the 2 major fig forums almost always offer cuttings for sale when they have them and both have variety lists.  This is a variety list hosted here at F4F http://figs4fun.com/varieties.html for example.

Almost all of my cuttings have come from forum members, even before I knew about the forums it seemed the cuttings I found on craigslist were still from people I later found out were on the forums lol

Goodluck!

Many sellers won't ship to California. Encanto farms in California is a very good source for different cultivars. Also ebay sellers are a good source. Just becareful who you purchase from. Make sure you buy from a reputable seller. Check out this guide Danny wrote on buying figs.

I thought the restriction on sending to CA was in regards to the soil, would that still apply to soil less cuttings?  I wouldnt think there would be any issue shipping "sticks" into CA.  I could be wrong though.

There was a thread on it recently and a response from Ca. Ag was cuttings were ok

Yup - Here's what CDFA said when I asked about fig cuttings

This should go into the files lol

Wanna know another tidbit? If the package is priority mail, priority mail express, First–Class Package Service, or international letter, it is considered "sealed" and postal/agricultural inspectors CAN NOT open it without the approval of the sender or the recipient.

Where did you get this idea?

Customs and Agriculture is a LEA , not going to ask anybody to open whatever they want! 

True.

No issues bringing cuttings into CA.

Thanks for all the replies.

Will start serious pruning this week. See my Facebook page for updates.

CA Ag inspectors will contact either sender or recipient for permission to inspect if the suspect plant material is enclosed. The will not allow delivery until they inspect. State law is very clear on requirements.

Sadly, this is legal.

Congress passed a trade act in 2002, 107 H.R. 3009, that expanded the Custom Service's ability to open international mail. Here's the beginning of Section 344:

(1) In general.--For purposes of ensuring compliance with the Customs laws of the United States and other laws enforced by the Customs Service, including the provisions of law described in paragraph (2), a Customs officer may, subject to the provisions of this section, stop and search at the border, without a search warrant, mail of domestic origin transmitted for export by the United States Postal Service and foreign mail transiting the United States that is being imported or exported by the United States Postal Service.

2 Terminal Inspection of Plants and Plant Products

21 Terminal Inspection Act

The Terminal Inspection Act (7 U.S.C 7760) makes it unlawful for anyone to mail a package that contains a plant or a plant product to an address in a global state or territory maintaining inspection of such plant or plant product if the outside of the package is not marked with a statement that fully and conspicuously identifies the contents. The statute authorizes imposition of a monetary penalty on anyone who makes such an unlawful mailing.
