Thanks so much to Bigbadbill!!! So greatful to recive your fig cuttings (Italian Honey, Brunswick, Palermo Red, Two Unknown Figs Terano and Oxford) for free! Now I need help, what do I do with the cuttings that are in the current state they arrived in as seen in the picture. What should I do? All help and info is appreciated. Thanks so much Bill.

Nice Smungung, Bill is a good guy. What you should do is use the search tab and type in 'starting cuttings.' This topic has been covered countless times on the forum. Then you can see what you think will be best for your situation.

Okay thanks.

Terano sounds like a good one.

Bill marked it off as one of his favorites

That's cool.  Have fun. :)

It's actually unknown Teramo. An Italian lady brought it with her from Teramo (in the Abruzzo region) Italy when she opened a B&B in Easton, Md awhile ago. I truly think this one is a special variety. It was inground for at least ten years and wasn't protected. She closed the B&B three years ago and it was neglected during the insanely cold winters of 2013-2014. Not only did they survive, they surged up twenty feet and ripened figs mid July this summer. That is ridiculously early in the mid Atlantic. The figs are awesome. Early, hardy, and tasty. That is my criteria for a great fig. I forgot to post pics of the tree, the leaves, and the fruits, but this is a special fig and I will post the whole story and pics on the forum in the next few days.

Bill did you recive my PMs?

Bill, where's the story about Teramo? You're keeping me in suspense here!

Bill, I'm in suspense also, I was born in the mountains of Teramo ( small town called San Vito) . Curious to see the picture, I have many differnt figs from there,

Bill I'm in suspense also, I was born in the mountains of Teramo in a small town called San Vito elevation about 2,000 feet, I remember a lot of snow but not very cold fig trees grow unprotected up to about 2,500 feet there and at about 3,000 feet the rest of the trees end an it's just pasture for sheep .Teramo is on the north side of Abbruzzo some of the most beatyfull and tallest mountains of the appennines are here including the Gran Sasso ,the tallest at about 10,000 feet. Very curious to see some pictures to compare,there are many different varietals there.

Sorry. I just posted it.

Yes, Bill is very generous! Looking forward to the pics! Great story!
