Unknown cuttings for postage

Almost all of my trees have gone dormant, so the pruners are coming out. I thought I'd offer the pruned cuttings of my [semi-]unknowns to anyone who wants them. Just asking for postage to cover mailing them.

  • Unk Italian 1 - probably a Mt Etna type. Seems to set smaller figs.
  • Unk Italian 2 - almost certainly a Brunswick or variant thereof.
  • Ischia (Not) - got this one as a TC plant and it was obviously not a Green or White Ischia. It's probably a White Marseilles.

Yes  i would like cuttings,   you are in a similar frost zone,  Maryland.  most of my trees are from this spring but I have access to a very vigorous fig  the trunk was 10" diamater untill the polarvortex  2013 2014 winter and now new shoots are 7 to 8' ht. I believe that it is chicago hardey.  if you want i will sent some in a box with return postage.

Thx! I sent u a PM

Just got my package in the mail, thank you so much for the bounty of cuttings!

Very generous offer, Johnny. The unknown Italian #2 ( Brunswick variant) was a monster for me and a nice fig to have for those that like big sweet figs. The interesting thing for me was most of the brunswicks I have split unmercifully, however, this one did not and didn't get as dilute after rain as most of my other figs, either. New collectors would definitely enjoy this one. You're a good dude, Johnny. Also check PM for wish list figs.

Cuttings arrived,  thank you for them.  I didn't expect as many or the variety.  You just tripled my fig orchard and the over wintering area next year may be inadequate.  Thanks again.
