Sorry for the late reply. I don't have any pictures of the fruit. Perhaps Jim may. Medium to large size. A few of the Breba's were double mule (mutated). It did not appear that any of the main crop were unless we missed them. Great discovery, Jim.

I've bought quite a bit from Giacomo. Never had any problems. I've recomended people to get cuttings from him also. Everything I've got from him has grown nicely. Sorry you've had a bad experience.

My advice do not buy anything from robrod815 on eBay. He has Ponte Tresa, Black Madeira, Dall ' Osso cuttings for auction. If you win the auction you'll get dried out brown turkey and kodota cuttings.

Also same story for eBay seller dausername1. They are both scammers.

If you want to buy on eBay, buy from Harvey C, Plant - Creator (Ray), KK or Giacomo (Just Figs). I've dealt with these and a few others and had great experiences.

I was scammed by both dausername1, 77Peony, and RobRod815. Don't waste your money like I did. Deal with someone reputable.

Thanks again for spreading around the cuttings of This precious tree with such a great history. All of my cuttings have rooted successfully. Seems to be quite a vigorous variety. Also enjoyed eating the fruit you brought me from the mother tree. Tasted like catelopes and walnuts mixed. Very delicate skin. A winner in my opinion.

If you want a Jolly Tiger buy it from a trustworthy source. Order from Harvey, Bass, Figirific or plant-creator

This seller robrod815 is a huge scammer. I was scammed last year on what was said to be Dall ' Osso cuttings. Lesson learned.

Do not buy from seller robrod815 on eBay. He currently has listing for Jolly Tiger and states it reverted back to all green growth. I was scammed by him last year on what he said was Dall ' Osso cuttings. Don't waste your money.

I started growing my collection with these. Great first year. Next year and all the time thereafter they are nightmare. They crack everywhere and the slightest move after one year and they will bust. I would recommend that you make your own using 5 gallon buckets, they'll last forever and much cheaper and have handles to aid in carrying around when needed.

I know the seller. He had this tree growing on his property for many years. He introduced this variety a couple of years ago I believe. I received some cuttings from him. Very nice man to deal with and very generous. I would buy from him anytime.

Please do not buy and waste your money. Seller was busted on eBay for bad cuttings (probably fake anyway). They have moved over to etsy. Still using same photos they used in their eBay listing. I was one of the people scammed. I am very selective in who I order from.

77peony on eBay currently has seven different cuttings listed for auction. Buyer beware. I purchased 4 different cuttings in november. When they arrived, some were moldy, rotten and the others dried out. Every one failed. I'm guessing they are not even the "rare" varities the auction claims they are. I am still trying to get a refund. Lesson learned.

I have the same problem with my Jolly Tiger bought as a cutting on eBay. I purchased from a trusted seller that stated it came from a highly verigated branch, and it did. From my research, it takes six month or so to produce verigated leaves.
