UCDavis Fig Cutting Ordering

Does UCDavis still distribute fig cuttings? Can someone please walk me through the process of ordering a one? I want to be part of this.

Thanks

One of the fruit groups is trying to find a way to make orders for us peons.  :)  Perhaps CRFG?  Does anyone have an update on that?

CRFG has never discussed ordering to distribute around the country, etc.  Our chapters have a hard enough time getting enough volunteers to staff local scion exchanges.  USDA with paid employees had a difficult time handling all the orders so how would this be done better by volunteers?  Also, USDA has limited CRFG to ordering 25 varieties (and that's spread to species other than figs).

Personally, I think enough of these are already out in the fig growing community already.  Eventually supplies will be sufficient that prices will be modest for all of them.

I started getting into figs last year 2015. It seems I missed a massive opportunity.

How do I setup my wish list on here?

Harvey - the problem is where do you get more rare stuff. I.e. Milco caprifig?
