Subject: Anyone have any Fig Scions/Cuttings in London, England? Replies: 7
Posted By: figera Views: 887
 
Hi there,

sorry for warming this up, yet I'm kind of aiming at the same direction.
I'm in London this Sunday and was wondering if:
- Anyone willing to part from some interesting cuttings there
- Anyone is aware of trees where I could cut a few

Thanks!

Just coming back from Istanbul where some majestic figs are simply growing in the streets or simply hanging over fences from gardens.

I couldn't resist to bring some cuttings home which also show the first roots in sphagnum. Let's see what I got there :-)

I might have an option for late fall from the U.S.

If anyone is able to help me out earlier, that'd be great, summer is just about to start over here!

Well, the question first would be anyways:
IS there anyone with a valle negra that would be willing to part from some cuttings?

Jeeesus - for real?
TO would have been understandable, but FROM as well???

Does this apply in reality? No cuttings exchange over continents?

Hey guys,

thank you for your replies!
I had read, that the Neapolitana might be identical to the valle negra, but as it didn't seem to be a real fact, I decided to go for the real thing just to be safe.
Would a cutting survive travelling to Europe from the U.S.? Then a source in the U.S. might be an option as well.

The vallecallda is not what I'm looking for from what I'm reading as there seem to be differences.

cheers

Hi guys,

After moving to a place with a larger terrace, I am slowly starting to use the space to grow crop plants of the stuff I like.
Having learned, that there are fig variants that can also survive harsh conditions, I am intrigued by the idea to also include them in my planting.
As the Valle Negra seems to be the best combo of max.endurance, two fig periods and also tasty fruits, I'd like to try my luck with that kind of fig.

The difficult question is: where to find one?
I couldn't come up with any providers so far.
A source in Europe would be idea considering that's where I'm based.
I also have relatives in Italy who might be able to help me ordering there, but so far I also haven't found anything there. Does it carry a different name in Italy maybe?

Thank you so much!
