I would like to get cuttings of the following fig varieties. *Black Bethlehem *Black Jack *Carrapipe Negra *Emerald Strawberry *Genovese Nero *Gino's *Kadota *Kathleen's Black *Natalina *Petite Negra *Salem Dark *Scott's Black *Scott's Yellow *Smith *Tacoma violett *Verte *Valle Negra I'm new to the forum. I've only tasted two kinds of figs. There is a green fig that is very common here in Oregon. One year I bought a box of Black Misson figs at the health food store, and they were great. I guess the Black Misson doesn't usually ripen here. I started cuttings from 3 different figs a few years ago but ended up giving them away. Hermit

Hermit, welcome to the forum. I am NOT new to the forum and I wouldn't mind getting some of those figs you listed as well. Good luck with that.

Welcome! Black Jack doesn't live up to the quality of the others on your list from what I've read. I've never tasted any of those myself.

Hello and welcome to the Forum...that's a really powerful list of figs you have there...a good place to start looking would be Encanto Farms operated by Jon from this Forum...at least you will know that you are getting good quality cuttings...you could also try ebay, but I have been hearing mixed reviews about them...either way good luck.
