Dan,

You buy ten trees at Home Depot because you know they are mislabeled and you are hoping one might be Ronde de Bordeaux.

Guess I am certified too! lol

If, when on vacation, you take pictures of fig trees

I don't meet ALL the criteria just yet, but I am working on it. But, I already consider myself a fig nut!

Yep,

When you have learned to leap tall fences with a single bound like superman......you might be a fignut.

When you clip cuttings faster than a speeding bullet like superman....you might be a fignut.

When yoiu check your trees several times a day.......you might be a fignut.

When an ebay fig search page is saved as one of your favorite links....you might be a fignut.

When you pay entirely too much attention to the trees in other people's yard than the road ahead...you might be a fignut.

When you have a framed picture on the wall with 127 different varieties of figs....you might be a fignut.

.........When you just talked to a guy you never met for 45 minutes just because he had a fig tree in his yard --------and you already knew the tree was on street view of Google Earth.  He said the tree was a Brown Turkey.

When you check el or other nurseries weekly for anything they might have that is new and exciting.
If you are looking for a new house with more land for your figs
If you Facebook people in other countries so they can send you cuttings.
I am guilty of all but short a few figs not quite to 150!!

Guilty...

LOL

When you keep tree cutters in your car just incase you drive
by a fig tree that you can reach from the street and
take some cuttings. You might be a fignut.  

Deb lol so true

...You know that "fignuts" are not some new kind of breakfast cereal.

You're a fig nut when you make a special trip to a location in Oregon to see the fig tree that you saw in the Winter while dormant and turns out it's not a fig tree.

Im just a nut

Rafed,
Good trying, Better luck next time.

Fespo,
Look out, your on your way to
becomming a F I G  N U T ... HA HA HA HA HA

omg,I really am a fig nut!!!

Rafed's comment about the winter-not-a-fig-tree comment just made my day!  We must keep this thread rolling, I keep coming back to read it.
    You know you're a fig nut when you make a spreadsheet specifically for your fig babies!

   You stare at your non fig trees and think about how you could replace them with a fig tree especially if there hogging up valuable sun space.

Geo

You are probably a fig nut, when you chop down your peach trees and shade trees to plant more figs.

You are probably a fig nut, if Baud means figs to you instead of the speed of a modem.

You are definitely a fig nut, if you read Condit's book on figs from cover to cover.

You are probably a fig nut if you open the box delivered by the UPS man before saying hello to the wife and kids when you come home.

... if every fig is Malta Purple Red and Gilette ;)

Joke!  Joke!  Stop being serious!  Joooooooke!
