Seeking Kure Beach cuttings

If anyone has a few cuttings from their Kure Beach fig tree send me a PM.  I am willing to pay for them including shipping.

thanks,

I was just in Kure Beach last week! Good luck finding  your cuttings.

Thanks Mario.  A friend of mine knows exactly where the mother tree is located.  I might make a quick drive there and see if I can get a few cuttings.  My doctor has small tree.  When I visited him 2 months ago, he said another doctor friend of his rant and rave about the figs.  I told him to give it a weak solution of fish emulsion. He said he added a small teaspoon on top of the soil.  I laughed!  He asked me why I was laughing.  I told him, he was suppose to add the teaspoon with water then water the tree.  He laughed!

Haha that is funny. Well if you are down there, you might as well make a day out of it.  There was some decent fishing at the pier when I was there.  Spots, flounder, and a few folks with the heavy gear were looking for kings.  If you need a decent affordable hotel I can recommend one.  :)

I wish I was a little closer cuz I'd def head down there and get some cuttings. I want some myself but I don't know where it is and I work 6 days a week and its 5 hours from the good ole NC mountains/foothills. Good luck to ya if you go.

Sounds like a great trip! I think trips like this are totally worth it. I wish i could drive there for cuttings myself. Sounds like a great fig!
