If you are importing into the US, the importer must have the permit, not the exporter.

Wow, I will have to go look and see.  The trees are only in their second season so they don't have much wood yet.

Thanks everyone.  I drastically cut these guys back in the dormant season trying to keep them from getting too tall, to no avail!  oh well, the birds can have the ones I can't reach.

The figs are wonderful.  I must admit, not all that I pick make it to the house.  Some of them literally melt in my mouth.  I have incorporated figs in a couple of stir fry dishes, putting them in very last so they don't get cooked but a minute or two.  They added a rich, sweet taste to the dishes let me tell.  

My stir fry dishes are all one-of-a-kind based on what I have on hand at the time I make them.  I always try to corporate sweet-salty-and sour in every mixture.I add some kind of meat first (thus-cooked the longest) then the next item going in depends on what takes the next longest to cook it might be potatoes if that is my starch or onions.  Tomatoes are coming in now as well as eggplant so they are appearing in the recipes right now. The tender things like figs go in last.

I am attaching some shots of my two largest fig trees.  They are Brown Turkey figs I planted about 10 years ago.  When I planted the little bitty things, they looked plenty far away from the other trees!  I estimate they are about 8 feet tall and probably 12 feet in diameter give or take.  They are producing well right now.  I do have to compete with birds but we are eating figs everyday now.

I bought two of these from a Memphis, TN area nursery.  The tag calls them "King Arthur" figs but I haven't found that variety anywhere I have looked.  They do look a bit like the "King" variety but I was wondering if anyone had an idea what variety this is:

Hello, I am new to this forum, but I just wanted to point out that any fig cuttings or other propagative materials sent to the United States from Greece or any other country require a USDA issued import permit and what is called a post entry quarantine.  This is reduce the risk of foreign pests and diseases from getting into the US.  Post entry quarantine means that the cutting has to be isolated from other figs for a period of time, usually 2 growing seasons and periodically inspected by a government inspector who will watch for signs of disease. FYI all seeds coming into the US from foreign countries require a USDA APHIS import permit.  This is required to prevent the introduction of exotic (to the US) pests and diseases.
