I love this variety I found in Easton, Md a few years ago. It is delicious, early and very hardy. These are three of the criteria I look for in a fig. My wife's family comes from the Abruzzo region of Italy, so I was very interested in this variety. I researched this tree years ago and had to get cuttings. See the story here: |

Sounds great Bill. Did you look up how cold it got for this tree the last two winters? |

Hi. I think I can satisfy all requests now, but I am going to have to stop at this point temporarily. I sent all PMs to people if I am certain I have enough, but I can't take any more until I know I have enough for others. I will post again with the amount remaining. Thanks so much for your interest! I hope Unk. Teramo does very well where you are growing it. |

I just checked my storage bags and found another bag of Unk. Teramo ( I thought I had more than just one bag). If any others who didn't get any that want some, please feel free to PM me. I really do like this variety and have no motive other than to see if others end up enjoying it as much as I do. I plan on sending them out on Monday morning. Thanks, Bill |

Soni, my village San Vito is below the tree line at about 2300 feet and the views are unbelievable, from the top of our mountain "mountain of the flowers"you can see everything you see in picture plus more including Yugoslavia accross the sea |

Just arrived and planted, thanks Bill. The 9 pots with no cups are the ones, they got cupped after picture . The background is the summer home for my pots, the red barn is where they spent the winter |

Just received my very fat (and very healthy-looking) Unk Teramo cuttings. Can't wait to get these growing. Thanks again, Bill! |

Vigorous and quick to root, leaves resemble the mother plant's. |

My plant is now producing figs even though I just rooted it this winter. Wow, the figs are good too. Very good actually. Thanks again for this plant! |

Dang, Drew! That looks great. You definitely have my first year trees beat. Your tree is even bigger than a lot of my second year Unk Teramos. I think the mature fruit ( 3 yrs+) is better, but I'm glad you like the fruit already. Could you PM me your secret growing blend? I'd love to try it. |

I can't take that much credit, it's been so hot here. Last year we had one day in the 90's. It was cold! This year we have one day not 90! Well not really but we have had over 30 days of 90 plus heat. I think that helped. Plants are in a southern exposure. So full sun. |
