trustworthy cutting/tree sources

Hi, I'm a newbie to the fig scene living in zone 8 Conroe Texas. I picked up a Celeste and a Texas ever-bearing on clearance at my local nursery, ( then went on-line to do some research). I had no idea there were so many different type's of figs! Anyway the need for more has set in, I just ordered some, (Carini) cuttings from frank, (Heck of a nice guy) and I am now looking for more to add. I was hoping to get some pointers on who to deal with. I've checked some on e-Bay but then read on the forum about the less than honest dealings... So no e-Bay for me. Any help you could give would be great.
Thanks!

People are starting to offer many cuttings right now

Be patient, there will be a plethora of cutting coming available very soon.  Additionally, if you looking for something particular, just ask if anyone will have some you can buy.

I'm a newbie as well bought some starters from wellspring garden.. I bought some specific fig cuttings from bigbadbill who is very knowledgeable and I'm trying to grow (cold hardy) good luck figging :)

Thanks for all of the info and warm wishes. I am going to try and get Violette de Bordeaux , Peter's Honey, Petite Negra, and perhaps some unknown smaller variegated/different flavor profile type. I do like to go for the best tasting and unusual types of trees. I currently have citrus, avocado, peach, and pecan trees, besides the two new fig trees i picked up.
Thanks again.

I have peters honey rotting right now if its successful ill consider selling one
