Here's what I have available.$4.00 Cuttings: - Celeste - Danny's Delight - Dotatto - Hardy Chicago - Violette de Bordeaux $5.00 Varieties: - GM 25 - Nero 600m - Acciano (Large black Italian fig. Very sweet & tasty) - Salce - Troiano Calabrese (High quality green fig from Italy. Amber flesh. Large and super sweet.) US shipping only. Shipping charges: 1-9 cuttings = $4 10-20 cuttings = $6 21 or more pieces shipping will be fixed at $10.00 If you would like additional info on some of the varieties please do a search here before contacting me. I'll help if/when I have time but I will, no doubt, be quite busy filling orders. While I do have a wide range of cutting diameters available, many are in the 1-1 1/2 inch range. If you would prefer smaller cuttings please specify when you contact me. Otherwise, I will send sizes randomly & you may get some big ones. If you want cuttings specifically for grafting be sure to let me know the size range you would prefer. I will try to accommodate when possible. 95% of my cuttings are 8 to 9" in length. When making cuts I insure that all pieces have at least 3 nodes per cutting. The vast majority have more than 3 nodes per piece. This is an especially important consideration when buying material for grafting. More nodes generally mean more potential trees out of each cutting. Please email me with your order requests. My PM will be turned off. In some cases it may take me awhile to get back to you. Be patient, I will respond in time.

The links provided for the Scott's Yellow look like 3 different figs. The green fig is not even close to the Scott's Yellow.

Richie - Are we looking at the same pictures? The Links are all titled Scott's Yellow and none of the 3 links that I am seeing has titles under the pictures. In my opinion, the only one that looks like the Scott's Yellow is the second one. The first one looks like a LSU Gold (Squat with Flat bottom)

Ok. Click only the top line of first link. It should bring up a pic from dan. It will have on pic of three figs. Lsu yellow looks similar to lsu gold but inside has red & gold center. The pic is there just hard to find. Lol.

Why were the other 2 links deleted? There were 2 other links in the original posting, 1 showing a LSU Gold, and 1 showing a Scott's Yellow. The pictures that you have left after your edit were only in 1 of the links.

Hey Danny. I temporarily deleted those just to look more closely at them and to take the time to see what else had been posted about this variety. The first link is most closely related to why I got this fig. I got cuttings directly from the person who posted those pictures. I've restored one of those two links. The third one did look to be too green compared to the pics in the other two. To clarify, I've only gotten one small, under developed ripe fruit from my trees to date. It seems to be slow to put on fruit and too much rain will stall fruit development. That's just what we had this summer. The larger tree was loaded with fruit this year but they didn't have time to ripen before it got too cold. So, it is still not completely proven in my orchard. I am offering it for sale as it is based on how & where I sourced this variety. As long as the source was honest with me it should be the variety illustrated in the two links above. Although the fruit in the two links look pretty different in shape. One could have been breba or just happen to be an odd fruit. After looking at several other threads on this variety I can clearly see why you want as much info and clarification as possible. Me too. Hopefully next season will be a bit dryer and the fruit will develop properly. Thus proving for certain the characteristics of the fruit from this tree. For those interested in this variety, I hope this additional information helps.

This link might also be useful concerning the Scott's Yellow. This link shows the fruit from Danny's tree. The fruit from mine should prove to be the same as this: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/lsu-scotts-yellow-7493321?pid=1287839444

As long as it's alright with Jon, I will make that link available here. It would also only make sense to refer visitors to my site to come here to learn more about delicious figs :-).
For now, here's what's available at this time. Prices range from $3 to $10 per cutting depending on variety, rarity, & other factors.:
$3.00 cuttings: -
Unknown Green German (Don't recall where I got this one. No ripe fruit yet but it was loaded with unripe figlets at end of season this year).
-
Violetta or Strawberry Verte (Got tag mixed up & was unable to narrow it down between the two. It is one or the other though. Waiting for fruit to find out which).
$5.00 Cuttings: -
Brunswick (Very cold hardy. Wood seems to survive brief temps into the single digits. Unfortunately ants in KY love this one :-/. )
-
Danny's Delight -
Hardy Chicago -
Unknown Fig From Owensboro, KY (Similar to HC but consistently has even better flavor)
-
Violette de Bordeaux (Great variety worth more than this but offered here due to it being quite common within the fig community)
-
Yellow Long Neck $7.00 Varieties: -
UCD 143-36/Emerald Strawberry -
GM 25 (Produced a single fruit one season but fruit dropped before ripening. Could need pollination. Just not yet determined)
-
GM 125-C (Still unproven in my orchard) (
Sorry this variety is no longer available. According to the source, 125-C turned out to be a Caprifig. )
-
Martin's Unknown Black (Very large black fig. Produced many ripe figs for me this season in spite of sooo much rain all summer)
-
Native de Argentile (Really great tasting fig)
-
Nero 600m - Ronde de Bordeaux $8.00 Varieties: -
Abebereria - Black Zadar (BC) - JH Adriatic - Longue d' Aout (What a great fig. Produced many high quality ripe fruit for me in spite of all the rain. Will propagate multiples of this one :-))
-
Troiano Calabrese (High quality green fig from Italy. Amber flesh. Large and super sweet. One of Mario's top 3 figs. He wouldn't have brought from home if it wasn't a good one ;-) ).
-
Vesuviana Bianca (Comes from base of Mt. Vesuvius. Very unique leaf shape/pattern)
-
Violet Sepor $10.00 Cuttings: -
GM 175 (Delicious purple beauty. No ripe fruit this year because of the rain but last year they were awesome! Will likely do best in dryer summers)
-
Preto (One of the great figs & one of my personal favorites)
-
Violette de Sollies (High quality french queen)
-
Scott's Yellow (This is allegedly one of the un-released LSU varieties. Mine was loaded with green fruit this year but didn't have time to ripen - Rain! I received mine from Dan a few years ago. This variety was discussed

Many of these varieties will fill only a couple orders and will be gone for the season due to limited material. While others will be available for months. I will be adding more varieties as time goes on.
If you would like additional info on some of the varieties please do a search before contacting me. I'll help if/when I have time but I will, no doubt, be quite busy filling orders.
As the season goes on I will also try to get some new pics & info posted here on some of the varieties listed above. I took a few pics of some of these this past summer & fall.
While I do have a wide range of cutting diameters available, many are in the 1-1 1/2 inch range. If you would prefer smaller cuttings please specify when you contact me.

I've added Acciano, Dottato, and Salce to the list above. More of Mario's figs from the Molise and Calabria regions of Italy :-) Mario's top 3 favorite figs are Acciano, Troiano Calabrese, and Salce. Dotatto comes in #4. He also reminded me this fall that Acciano gets a huge breba fig "about the size of a baseball" as he put it! The main crop are still pretty big figs but not near the size of the breba.

Thanks for the cuttings last year. I ended up with lots of trees.
(40) Violetta: (light brown skin, sweet sugar type figs.)
(50) Violette De Bordeaux: (delicious, 100's ripening ATM.) One of them has a branch with variegated leaves and figs forming.
(25) LSU Scott's Yellow: (Lots of figs forming, looks like a good, healthy and productive variety. Long neck, light green figs. Maybe in a month I will have one to try.)
(50) JH Adriatic: Lots of figs forming. This variety is tied with LSU Scott's Yellow for being easiest to root. Both had all cuttings rooted in 13 days.
(8) GM 175: Very horizontal growing. Huge amount of figs forming. Fruit are shaped similar to Figo Preto.
(6)GM 125-c: Has figs forming.
(2) GM 25: Has figs forming will see if they hold or fall off soon.
(1) Baud's Sucrette: Slowly growing.

That was nice of you to say Dennis. Thank you. Hey Sid. Looks like you did quite well with all of those. Have you actually gotten ripe fruit from the Violetta? It looks like that lateral growth habit of the GM 175 is going to be a consistent characteristic of this variety. Just a heads up on the GM 125-C. I was informed by the source of this variety that it turned out to be a Caprifig. So no edible fruit from that one. Upon this info being brought to my attention I've discontinued offering it for sale. If anyone would like to have the parent tree I will be getting rid of it. Not sure of how you might use it but let me know if you're interested in it.

@saxonfig: I got several ripe figs off of the Violetta, but removed most of them since they were growing slowly. The flavor might change next year since they are all being planted in ground.
GM 125-c is different than GM 125? Are there 3 GM 125's AB&C?
Harvey posted this picture of his GM 125.
https://m.facebook.com/Figaholics/photos/a.560029974057420.1073741827.556076651119419/933986503328430/?type=3&theater
I was going to experiment with pollinating my non-persistent Capri figs with edible persistent Capri fig pollen. I wanted to see if that will lead to seedlings that are mostly persistent edible Capri figs.

Yes, apparently the 125 that Harvey has is different than the 125-C. I may grow mine for another season or two just to see if it actually does anything.....

OK, I guess I need to jump in here ... For those who have it, GM 125 (no APPENDS) was my 'first' cut from a very good fig tree, loaded with small dark delicious dark purple fruit. I marked an "X" with my clippers on a limestone rock to remember the exact spot. Went back a few days later for a 'second' cut and apparently all the fruit was harvested. Looked for my X but could not find it ?!? So by MISTAKE I wrongly cut from a nearby 3 tree cluster and numbered them GM 125 A-C. Sorry to say that GM 125 A-C may just be duds - aka caprifigs! My apologies, -George.

Funny Sparky. I guess someone moved George's rock unless he took it with him to ensure no one would move it :-) LOL! Just messing with you George. All in fun. No worries on that variety though. I did remove it from the list and I won't be offering it again. A few people did get this one from me. If I recall correctly, last season was the first time I distributed it at all.If there's anyone who previously rec'd GM 125-C from me and you feel the least bit slighted in light of this new information, I'd like the opportunity to make things right. I will offer to send you a replacement variety in the form of cuttings from the list I have available now. This will be a number of cuttings equal (if possible) to what you originally rec'd of GM 125-C. You may choose from any one (1) variety only. If you rec'd GM 125-C from me and would like to take advantage of this replacement offer please contact me via email. Sorry but I will only fulfill this offer after I've confirmed in my records (or past email communications) that you actually received this one from me - obviously.

Hi Barb. To me, that Unknown Owensboro has a pretty good berry flavor. Hardy Chicago is similar but doesn't seems to be as full flavored as the former. The Acciano has somewhat of a grapey flavor, especially in the skin of the fruit. Remember, this is all based on how they seem to taste to ME. Could be different based on individual palette.

New to growing figs. I just received a hardy Chicago fig, and will wait till spring to put it out. I actually had some figs on it, and they are slowly ripening. I would love to have some fig cuttings, but would need something very cold hardy, as they would be in pots, and spend the winter in an unheated garage.

Hi Leander. Is your garage attached to the house? What agricultural zone are you in? Many folks have great success growing fig trees in pots & then storing them in an unheated attached garage for the winter. Some people grow figs and enjoy fruit even up to zone 5 using this method. Most any variety can be successfully grown this way. So really, it's just up to you as to which varieties you want to try and how many pots your spouse will allow you to over-winter in the garage :-) . By the way I'm in zone 6 and I grow 99% of my trees outside in the ground, year round.

Yes, my garage is attached to the house. I believe I'm in zone 5a, but its really close to 4b. I guess I can leave them in pots, and sink in the ground for the growing season, and bring the into the garage for the winter. I imagine they would still have to be some of the hardier varieties.

Yes, you may be in a pretty cold region but I think you could still have success by growing in pots. No need to bury the pots in summer. There's been much discussion around the forum on how to do this. It wouldn't hurt to do some searching here to learn some more. If you had a basement, it may work even better than the attached garage but I still think you could make the garage work. Storing the potted fig trees next to the interior wall would be the first thing to consider. I recall others doing this in very cold regions and even using some sort of insulation to cover the trees once inside the garage. Granted, it would help to have the more cold hardy varieties. And/Or to have varieties that are known to produce fruit under less than ideal conditions. Hope this helps.....

No basement unfortunately. I will put most in the garage for the winter, and leave a few Chicago Hardy in the ground, well mulched, to see how they do. I think I saw one named Brunswick, that stated it was very cold hardy. May have to try that one too. I will also plant one on the south side of my house to see how it does.

Leander. Mulch is how I protect my in-ground trees every year. It's amazing how just a few inches of mulch can keep the wood from freezing. There are at least two factors at work that protect the trees when using mulch. 1) The actual insulation from the material covering the tree. 2) When organic material decomposes it generates heat. Granted there isn't much decomposition going on when it's cold but I'm sure there is still a slow process going on underneath the surface of the mulch. I cut my in-ground trees back to about 10"-18" then cover as much of the exposed wood as I can by piling mulch on top. No matter how cold of a winter we might get here in zone 6, the wood below the mulch has never died. Yes, Brunswick may be one of the most cold hardy varieties. I found a Brunswick variant here in west KY that I've personally observed to survive after some brief lows of +4F. Years with a lot of snow seem to kill it back more so than dips into single digits under dry conditions. I have two variants of Brunswick. One I call Haikel and the other Zimmerman. Both based on names of the family they come from. Haikel originates form Btegrine, Lebanon and Zimmerman came from a nursery in TN. I believe the Haikel is the most cold hardy and best tasting. It does have a bit of an open eye that the ants like to get in but a perfectly ripe fruit has a peach-like taste IMO.

Thanks for all of the great info! I did plant one Chicago Hardy this summer, and it just started to grow a few new leaves before all fell off, and it went dormant. After the leaves fell off I put a good 5 inches of mulch around it. I sure hope it was established enough to come back next year.

I'd gladly take the mother GM-125C. A mature caprifig would help me a lot. I sent you an email. Get to it when you can :)

Looks like Kerry over on the other forum also had a nice pic of the ripe fruit of LSU Scott's Yellow here: https://www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-home/115902-lsu-scott-s-yellow-experts-needed I also just listed Scott's Yellow cuttings on eBay with pics of some unripe fruit from my trees. The pictures at least show the general shape of the fruit beginning to develop: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252666759041?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Awesome Dave. Glad to hear it. I was just noticing that Nero 600m is synonymous with Valle Calda:http://www.planetfig.com/cultivars/fcveng8595.html I'll have to see what else has been said about that here.

Thank you to all who have purchased cuttings from me so far. I've decided to reduce the prices on all remaining cuttings I have for sale this season. I'm doing so in hopes of selling things off more quickly. I have a growing list of repairs I need to make around my homestead & it's keeping me quite busy. For one such example, I'm finishing re-building my well house roof today. It's getting into the teens F again tonight so I better get a move on so I don't have frozen pipes by morning :-O!
I have an excess of cuttings available of certain varieties. If anyone might be interested in larger quantity discounts please email me to discuss this possible option. Thank you all very much.

Your varieties and cuttings are all great! Thank you for making this offer available to forum members as well as through eBay. Any predictive insight into what you may have coming up in January so that we might have opportunity to plan and triage space? :-)

Hey tsparozi. The cuttings I have coming in Jan will be from a friend. Can't recall all that he has but if memory serves me here are a few of them: - Italian Honey - Algerian - Afghan -E - Armenian (watts) - Paris Purple (Paris TN) - Unknown purple fig from Owensboro, KY Several others that I can't recall at the moment.
