I am new here but I love all things Fig! I have recently started collecting fig trees, taking cuttings or buying a young tree. I found a Panache at my local Lowes and had to have it! I also found a Violette de Bordeaux fig tree at a nursery, once again, had to have! Both trees cost $40+. Trees are expensive and I like to have a variety of trees, so as I walk my dog I keep my eyes out for fig trees. I have found almost 10 trees within a mile walk from my house. When the summer rolls around and the figs are ripening I sample each tree. I take note of how many figs the tree produces, how early or late the figs ripen, and of course flavor. Then I take cuttings from the trees I like! That is the source of most of my cuttings, I have taken a few cuttings from trees of people I know.
