I bought five trees over the summer to quench my fig addiction. The guy that sold them to me didn't seem too sure of the varieties and honestly I didn't care at the moment, I just wanted FIGS!!!! The person I bought them from said they were Marseilles, Pingo De Mel, Celeste, Portugal Dwarf and Mission.  I do not know that these are the varieties and hope to I.D. the figs with some help from the forum members during next season. I will be pruning the trees and figure I can take about 15 cuttings from each tree. three cuttings from each tree per person comes out to five packs of 15 total cuttings. If anyone is interested $10 gets you one of these packs shipped in the small flat rate boxes. first 5 to send $10 to joseney21@hotmail.com and post on this thread get a pack....

Count me in

A way to entertain myself this winter.

Are you looking to trade? I would like just the Dwarf Portugal. Do you have any photos of its leaf shape?
edit: it is the one at 3 o'clock right?

hoosier a trade would be great, the only problem is aside from the fact that I wouldn't take the guys word for what was what I don't know which tree is which...I have marked them 1-5 until I can get somewhat of an I.D. if you're still interested let me know...

Paypal sent, if too late just cancel.
Thanks,
Jake

It looks like the guy who sold them knows his figs to me. Starting from the top right: Mission, Dwarf Portugal, Celeste, Marseilles White (Italian Honey), Pingo de Mel. I don't have experience with all of them but that is close anyway. I am willing to bet the Dwarf Portugal is a Mt. Etna fig, it looks very much like Sal's. It would be easy to tell when it leafs out in the spring. If you are not sure which is which now we can wait till summer.

OK I guess that is probably not Pingo de Mel.

Jake, Mark and Grasa, I will be cutting and sending out your cuttings tomorrow when I get home from work (assuming I don't get mandated or an extremely late call, never know how 911 will behave) if not by tomorrow then definitely Tuesday.

Brent, PM your address and what you have/want to trade, I will send you cuttings from the five.

I think that is all for now folks, I have received PMs and all cuttings are spoken for. I'll update here if things change.

Thanks!!

Jose

Jose, one good deed deserves another! PM me your address, Santa is coming to town with a bag of figs trees coming your way!

Merry CHRISTmas!

shipping will have to wait until tomorrow, I got mandated to work the evening shift today...will ship out first thing tomorrow morning.

Shipped.....

but after shipping I have a new found respect for the forum members who do this on a regular basis or others that ship things regularly...I spent over on hour last night gathering cuttings in my garage while listening to coyotes laugh at me, I think they were in my yard. I thought I was going to have to fight a few...I was pretty tired after a long day's work and got to bed pretty late after winding down. I'm usually pretty sleepy if I don't get good sleep the night before but packaging the cuttings and prepping them for shipping kept me up (surprisingly). work kept getting in the way but eventually I finally managed to get them shipped....good luck rooting, hope you guys enjoy these.

BTW, please let me know if you have any problems...

P.S. I forgot to pack paper towels so I wrapped the cuttings in wet gauze and napkins...

Wet gauze LOL your such a paramedic !!!!

I'm new around here...been lurking and learning and recently signed up to be a member. I have had a few fig trees for a couple years and would love to add to the mix. Please count me in. :) I will paypal at the listed address, but if there are no more cuttings left you can just send the money back.  Thank you!

Sarah first off welcome second post a little bit about you at bottom of signature where your from your climate zone etc

Thank you for the welcome! Sorry for the half rate intro, but I got a little excited and didn't want to miss out as these are a couple of the figs I've been wanting ;)  I was trying to hurry up and post between trying to make dinner and feed the crying baby. I am in the Portland, Oregon area.  I think that we are in zone 8?  We have an edible landscape and have included figs for a few years now.  I have the Desert King, Peter's Honey and the Violette du Bordeaux. 
Now off to finish up with the kids and send them to bed.  Thanks for all the great info here!

I know the feeling and I hope you get these

Sarah, You will be the last one for now...I'll have to ship out to you on thursday, I work a double tomorrow. I will get back to you via PM with the tracking number.

Welcome to the forum Sarah!! hope you enjoy all there is to learn here!!

Thank you so much!  I'm so excited. I was looking at your previous post and saw your beautiful trees.  I felt your excitement in your sharing the news and thought it looked like your family enjoys them as much as my family and I do.  Then I was even more excited when I saw this thread.  I didn't even finish reading the thread because I was worried I would miss out on the list while I was reading, lol. Thank you so much for including me on the list and for taking the time to offer and mail your cuttings, especially around your busy work schedule.  I appreciate it and look forward to receiving them.

A Sarah it sooo funny to imagine you rushing to get your payment in omg omg what do I do what do I do LOL I and many others have been in your shoes please let us know in your signature what you have you might have something someone else has been wanting you never know im glad you made your payment in time good luck with them

Anthony, that was exactly what it was like! 

VDB is gonna be a hit.

to all those who received tracking numbers, they may not have been tracking numbers. I tried entering them into usps after being alerted by a member that his number didn't work, sure enough they didn't work....It was the only number I got that looked like a tracking number....all had expected delivery dates of 12/06, one was 12/05

Jose,
I got the Cuttings this Morning,thanks for your help and generosity,
Best regards,
Mark
