I was generously sent some Filacciano Bianco cuttings by another forum member, but lost them for reasons I can't figure out despite other cuttings doing swell in the same conditions. They sent shoots instead of roots and burned out, I guess.

I would very much like to try again if anyone has cuttings available for sale or trade, please let me know.

Thanks!

I never heard of this type. Where do they come from? Which country?

It is a San Pedro type brought over by Gene Hosey from Italy (there may be some others on the forum who have it from relatives bringing it over too). The breba buds seem to be the hardiest of the San Pedro types, reportedly he grew it in zone 7 MD without protection.

This fig is very popular in central Italy very big and early the name itself means " Breba white"one of the first to produce in the Lazio region. Sorry for now I only have a young plant

Sent you an email.

Thank you, Kerry!

Got brebas?? :-)

is this the same as Faliciano RK/AF? 

Kelby, what are some of the conditions that prevent a Breba Crop? And what are your steps for discovering the cause and correcting it?

Ok, that makes sense, thank you Kelby.

I have seen that tree, was a good read.

Hi Kelby.  I'm growing this type (Filacciano Bianco).  Though my trees aren't currently big enough for cuttings, I do have a couple of spare small trees.  From the messages above it looks likely you've got cuttings on the way, but if not, I'd be willing to sell you one of my small trees.  (i.e. if you don't find cuttings somewhere).
