I couldn't resist, it was £30 for all of them, including postage. I'm just hoping that they don't mind the short season but I will never know if I don't try! __________________ NE Scotland Young plants: Nero del Portogallo, Babits, Della Signora, Ice (Crystal?), Brown Italian, Sultane, Fingered Giant, Flat (Pogacsa) In propagation: Brown Turkey, Sphikas Unk., Ladywood Unk.

Not sure about the others but Sultane is suppose to be a small but early fig. __________________ Zone 6a Sarver, PA Wish list; Rafed's Genovese Nero

Thank you Tony, yes I found a description of Sultane which sounds promising but couldn't find anything on the rest. The seller is in Wales, so not so far north as us but they said that they are all cold tolerant varieties suitable for tye UK. __________________ NE Scotland Young plants: Nero del Portogallo, Babits, Della Signora, Ice (Crystal?), Brown Italian, Sultane, Fingered Giant, Flat (Pogacsa) In propagation: Brown Turkey, Sphikas Unk., Ladywood Unk.

I have Brown Italian if it's the same as mine which is called Toni's Brown Italian. It's a lot like Latturula but brown on the outside and sweeter and richer. __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

Thanks Denis. I am new to figs so not familiar with any yet! Do you know of a resource anywhere that lists synonyms of fig names. There seems to be a lot of confusion in naming them. __________________ NE Scotland Young plants: Nero del Portogallo, Babits, Della Signora, Ice (Crystal?), Brown Italian, Sultane, Fingered Giant, Flat (Pogacsa) In propagation: Brown Turkey, Sphikas Unk., Ladywood Unk.
