Hello All,

I still have stored cuttings from our 13 traditional varieties. You can watch them in a new photo album, currently I uploaded 5 pages:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/92961367@N03/
There are some cuttings left from the new varieties published here (http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/exchange-cuttings-europe-%28Ihave-50-varieties%29-6083536), but very few. Just ask. This winter I made several exchanges with so many forum members. However winter rooting was very unsuccesful in many cases, so I'd like to obtain some varieties again. Here is a list, but I'm interested in any known, high quality figs. Some of them are completely lost for me, or I have only 1-2 dubious cutting alive, others I never had before:
Zidi
Calimyrna
Marabout
Black Madeira
Genovese Nero
Zingarella
Black Ischia
Green Ischia
Black Mission
Salem Dark
Black Bethlehem
Hardy Chicago
Sal's EL
Sal's Corleone
Brooklin Dark and White
MBVS
VdB
Flanders
Excel
Hunt
Desert King
Galicia Negra
Danny's Delight
San Piero
San Pietro
Smith
Conadria
Calvert
Chico Strawberry
Mavra Sika
Dwarf 38
Lyndshurt White
Sumacki
Sierra
Maltese Falcon
Battaglia Green
Nero 600M
Valle Calda
Stella

And one important thing from the previous experiences: when you send cuttings to a long journey, please don't apply ANY moisture. Just dry cuttings wrapped in plastic very carefully, completely isolated from air, better vacuum sealed. Before packing them apply copper fungicide, bodeaux mix or anything similar and let it dry on them. That's how Montserrat Pons and others pack them to prevent mold.

Thank you for sharing your great pictures.
I've read that the only difference between the Coll de Damas is the color of the skin, do you agree that they taste the same?

Some pictures about our mother-orchard as it appears today. This year spring comes late due to the extreme, unusual cold March in Europe, but by now phenology is accelerated very much. We expect a quite fair breba crop.

We have some pawpaw (Asimina triloba) trees. We also planted 60 trees last year. Our oldest trees are full of flowers now. This species is still very new here as it comes from the USA, where it is a native. The new trees are grafted, known cultivars. Unfortunately only the flies pollinate the flowers here, honeybees are not interested in it at all. I think an American insect is not present in Europe similar to yucca-flies. To ensure the crop we use artificial pollination.

Besides these, I'm still looking for exchange of fig cuttings, as we have stored cuttings. My wish list is that one above in my first post, but by now I managed to get some varieties again. From the list above I'd really like to get some Black Madeira, Genovese Nero, Marabout, Zingarella, MBVS, Nero600M, Black Bethlehem..... and the others too.

Wonderful pictures. Pawpaws are normally pollinated by carrion flies (and beetles) here, but not efficiently. The flowers are not designed to attract bees as they are flesh colored, point downwards, and smell like carrion. The old books would recommend hanging carcasses of small animals in the trees to attract carrion flies. Not the way to charm the neighbors.

Thank you Scott for the information! Well, pawpaws are special but I think a delicious fruit. When I first tried it I found it very interesting, different from other temperate climate fruits. Maybe I can compare it to the tropical-American Annona relatives such as soursop, cherimoya which I tasted in Bali island. I don't understand why it's not popular even in the USA where it grows wild. Well, I know that it has an extremely short storage life as a fruit but so have raspberries or blackberries but they are still cultivated, so not an excuse.

I agree, they were quite the same for me. As I see these are the most popular, sought-after varieties and unfortunately thes were the first finished cuttings for me.

Here in Nebraska we pick wild paw paws in the forests along the rivers .
I  lived next to  an old gentleman who had a patch of PawPaw trees in his yard he  would hang strips op rotting chicken meat in the PawPaw trees to attract flies  to polinate them .
