Who wants a few Vern's Brown Turkey cuttings?

A few cuttings left. PM me if interested. I know there's one more person out there who wanted them but thought you missed out. This is your chance.

<p style="margin: 0px;">A friend asked me to help an elderly lady who's 8 yr old fig tree needed pruning.  I'm no expert but I certainly can see where branches cross and aren't getting enough light and I know to cut down to a node facing the way the next branch should grow.  So I took out the obvious stuff and told her she could have some plants to pot or give away but she didn't want any of them.  So now I have a few dozen cuttings from last year's wood.  She said it was a dark fig with a light interior that she bought from One Green World.  Looking at their catalog she said it was either a VBT or Black Spanish.  OGW said from the description it had to be a VBT.  So 90% chance of them being VBT, 10% Black Spanish.  Jon, I notice you don't have a VBT.  You get some free for putting up with me if you want them.  Last time I sent out cuttings I lost $$ on PP fees, so this time you have to send $8 for 3 cuttings and I'll ship priority mail.  First come, first served  :)  </p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;">Send PP goods so I get a printable label</p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;"><img border="0" hspace="0" alt="" align="baseline" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-EXAL7f0R1j8/T0nWbfjuJYI/AAAAAAAAEgE/lnZloq_pTfw/w913-h126-k/email.jpg"></p>[B][/B]

Hallo RC  ...

If you dont mind  , Id like to trade VBT from you with Mine.
How can I do that...? , May I PM you...?

Thanks and best regards


<p style="margin: 0px;">PM or email but I wouldn't trade a VBT for another VBT.  I'm trying to send excess fig wood to people who want to grow them.  I certainly don't need any more.  </p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;">  no cuttings left. Sorry. </p>

And folks, please just send PP.  No need to message me.  I have dozens of these.  If I run low I'll post it here.  This tree hadn't been pruned for 8 years.  There's a lot of 8" cuttings.  If you want more than 3 let me know in the PP message.  Add 0.50 per cutting.  No more than will fit in a small priority flat rate box but a dozen will fit easily.



Hi RC ,

I have sent you PM.

Thanks and Best Regards

All orders sent in so far have shipped.  Here's a link to the description.

how many cuttings did u have all together?

are there any left?

I never counted.  about half are gone and I have lots left.

The cuttings arrived today in great shape. Thank you again.

All I know is at the above link.  I've never seen a fig I just pruned someone's dormant tree.  3 cuttings are $8, PP info is above.  The smaller cuttings are left but I planted a 2", 2 node cutting half the width of a pencil.  At 2 wks it has leaves but no roots yet. 

I rooted a few cuttings so tiny I wouldn't send them out.  1 or 2 nodes, half the thickness of a pencil.  I'm home now and looked at all the cuttings.  The smallest ones already have roots.  A few others have leaves.  They were rooted the same day or soon after I posted here.  Pretty fast!

Hi RC.
I got the cuttings today thank you.

Ok, a couple of big orders have wiped out. Thanks.

pm and pp sent

No cuttings left. I hope everyone gets lots of great figs!

Got the Cuttings yesterday, Thank you. All arrived in great condition. 

I've got roots on the Vern's Brown Turkey cuttings! Thank you again for sharing.

Great! I've never done a mass mailing of cuttings I've taken before. Jon's cuttings know how to behave but I was afraid mine wouldn't. Glad to hear you've had some success. :) I do have a vey small number of cuttings left. Whoever wants them let me know

I received the cuttings.
Thanks
again rcantor

Good luck with them!  Let me know how they turn out.
