I will send 3 or 4 cuttings from my in ground tree for $9 postage. The excess covers fees, expenses and the occasional lost package. You will get a tracking #. My PP is The tree was bought from Edible Landscaping in 1993. You should PM me before you send payment to be sure I have some left. Including your name and address in the PM will be helpful. I have enough for at least 50 people. Let me know if you want 2 or 3. I only ship to the US and will not be responsible if your state doesn't alow the package to get to you. No refunds as I incur the mailing expense. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

Canada does require a phytosanitary certificate so it's cheaper to buy from http://brugmansia-quebec.com/Catalog.html than for me to ship there. Canada has a great page that makes it easy to find import regulations http://inspection.gc.ca/plants/imports/airs/eng/1300127512994/1300127627409 __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

Still available. You can get 4 cuttings if you want since there's not as much interest as I thought there'd be. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

bob, people do not know what they are missing out on. or most of the members already have Hardy Chicago. from what i heard Hardy Chicago is one of the best and readily available fig out there. i held off on HC for longest until one of the generous member provided me with rooted cutting. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

HC is the one variety I get asked about most frequently when talking to people that are just getting interested in figs. I'll take you up on your generous offer so I can have some extras to share. Sending PM and PP your way (giggle, sorry I have young kids)... __________________ Andy - Zone 6a Lat 39.9º N, Alt 5390' Westminster CO ⚘ Scion List

A couple of months ago, while at a local Lowes, I noticed a bunch of leaf distressed fig plants in ~1/2 gal pots. Plants were less than 1 foot tall but with well shaped multiple branches. There were more figlets on them than leaves! Explained to me, the lack of leaves was b/c of a lack of watering (the master in-charge was away for a few days). They were labeled Chicago Hardy (I presume it is eq. to HC?). I ended up buying 5 @ 1/2 price ($5 ea.) for friends. __________________ George, NJ_z7a.
