Hi, I'm looking for a few varieties that I'm thinking may survive our crazy Denver climate!

They are:

Florea

LaRadek's English Brown Turkey

Hanc's English Brown Turkey

Sodus Black Sicilian (I know this one is extremely new)

If you have cuttings or plants of any of these you are offering, please feel free to let me know. I don't have much to trade at this point (have several varieties in pots but most are too small), but I can certainly send you money!

If you guys have any other recommendations, I'd love to hear it. High and dry, the sun is very strong with pretty hot summers, winters can be mild but suddenly plummet to extremes of negative temperatures.

Thanks!

Hey Evan,
Good to see you posting. I hope you can find the cultivars you are looking for. I haven't been successful finding those either. Florea might be my jinxed fig, I killed my first set of cuttings and the tree I bought turned out to be a mystery fig. Maybe you'll have better luck ;)

How's the Sweet George doing, think it will fruit this year?

Yes sir. I'll be searching. Perhaps, we'll have to bug Herman. : )

Yea, it has those 3 figlets, but we'll see if its able to ripen in the 60's.

Nice! It will be interesting to see how those berbas do. Do you think it is big enough to ripen all three? I don't remember how big it got.

Yea, it will be. Not sure. The whole plant is about 10" tall. It would definitely be impressive.
