Some Cuttings for a good home. Smaller eye Armenian.

This variant has been growing very well in my garden, so when they were trimming the mother tree I asked few branches. Didn't know the gardener was going to illuminate the second tree completely (what an idiot!) ... anyway. I have several cutting to share with anyone who might be interested.
All I ask is $6 for S/H.
You will receive ONE cutting.
Thanks.

Good looking fig Aaron

Looks good Aaron, how was the taste 

Rich,
thanks, it is a good one to have.

Hi Daniel,
The taste is very refreshing with sweetness of ~8, and very mild figgie aroma. Honestly it smells more like a ripe white Mulberry than a fig.

I have several variants of Armenian, from a Large Eye to the Small. I like this particular one because of the Eye size.
The taste of the Armenian is very refreshing, not too sweet...it's what I call a Perfect Summer Fruit... very juicy.
Great fresh/chilled.

Below pics are of the Armenian with Large Eye... they still taste same.

Welcome Charlie.

I'll get them out to USPS on Monday.

Very nice of you to share. I wonder why you peeled the skin... I like eating all of the fig.

Thanks Grasa.

Habit I guess, some dark figs have nice sweet taste but a lot of figs just blunt taste...sometimes I don't care for it. Besides...makes my tong numb and tingle and sensitive from eating too much with the skin.

4 cuttings left ;)

Do you know whether this fig requires the wasp?  Would be a shame to send out to folks just for them to find out in a couple years that they can't get any fruits. 

Rob, Armenia has four seasons. I highly doudt wasps can survive the harsh winters there .
This is a common fig with two crops.
Just like any fig it will be improved with pollination.

I've got UCDavis Armenian rooted, I think it could be a difficult fig with a large eye for my area, gonna give it a try anyway.

Aaron,

I believe the people want to know if this fig was named "Armenian"  because

-it came from Armenia
-it originated at UCD
-the owners are Armenian
-something else?

This is the thread where Aaron first described this fig:

http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/have-some-figs-7010928

Actually, it's a recompilation of the posts from the original thread, which was taken down. Don't ask me why.

Igor,
The Original owners of this variant of the Armenian are from Armenia and they brought the cutting in early 80's (which their manager states is called Yerevanski, but they don't agree...anyway) has a smaller Ostiole and thus might do much better in wet climates.
The one From Beverly Hills which is also brought from Armenia and (by the owner) it's called Armenian or Armenian White has a bit bigger Ostiole which bring it to Paul's point...the older thread... (that one was about the Armenian fig from Beverly Hills.)
I have been eating both and didn't find difference in tastes, They taste identical.
Thank you Paul :)

Mike, I saw and ordered the UCDavis "Armenia" myself. I want to compare and see the difference. I am very curious if it's the same variety but just different variant of it.
Do you have any pictures of it and the fruit with the Ostiole?

Paul,
the thread is still active, I just checked? it's under this Have some figs:)...
I
 don't know why you said it was taken down. ;/

2 more left and I'm done with them!

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood. Your second post says, "My apologies everyone but the original thread was getting too ugly. I have cut and paste all the responses so we can all read and enjoy." So, I assumed that meant the original was deleted. It looks like most of the posts in this thread were copied/pasted/posted by you from another thread. I was pointing it out it because it is the earliest thread where I saw you mention this Armenian fig, and Greenfig was asking about the origin of this fig.

I edited, this was one of those ugly times of the forum, but we are a heaven now! 
Thank you.

Aaron, no this is newly rooted cuttings shared by a kind member. Hopefully next year.

All cuttings are gone .
Thank you all and happy rooting :)

Sorry guys, but all the packages are going out tomorrow morning (Thursday), I had an emergency with Kid's Pre-School.

Hey Aaron I just received my cutting in the mail! Thanks so much!

Welcome Mike, were it rooting yet? LOL
I have a feeling all cuttings will root before they reach their destinations.

No rooting yet, but I'm super pumped! Thanks again.
