I would for sure ask around to some of the residents. That's a fantastic tree and it didn't happen there by accident. Beautiful.

Wow, that sounds fantastic. What a great story and a great name for a fig! That's exactly the stuff I would like to have. That tree has probably made countless people smile. I will shoot you an IM.


Thank you so very much, Pukzpukz and have an absolutely awesome day today.

Louneo, you nailed it. I view plants a little differently than some and I genuinely believe there is something bigger going on within the world of plants. I will save that conversation for another time though. I just want to make sure my collection is off properly. There is so much history wrapped up into figs it isn't even funny.

BTW I live in Washington state.

OttawanZ5, I'm sure at some point things will adjust in that direction as my knowledge base increases. I may not add that many to my yard as I also work with heirloom apples and they take up space as well. We'll see how things go. :)

Thank you to everyone so far. I guess I am a bit of a romantic and appreciate the fact that a lot of these fig cuttings are essentially a living chain letter from their original location and heritage. Michael Pollan in his video, The Botany of Desire talks about how plants use us for their bidding to grow well beyond they're cultural range. Figs are right in that mix.

So far I have tracked down or had help finding the following. A great way to start a collection in my humble opinion:

Brooklyn White from Bass
Unknown Teramo from BigBadBill
Dominick's Fig from coop951, cuttings offered by rcantor

Good day.

I am new to figs and looking to get started with my first cuttings. I, like so many folks have been reading this forum, researching fig types, looking at various websites, and just basically soaking up as much information as I can.

What I have to say that I find so very special about figs and fig tree collectors is their appreciation for the history around the fig. The stories of a childhood tree being re-discovered. The stories of cuttings traveling with families as they move homes or even countries. Taking the spirit of the tree with them, even bringing a cutting back from a deployment. Wow.

I'd love to buy some cuttings that carry that sort of provenance. I'd just like to start my future collection with a little history.

Thank you for reading and please shoot me an IM and I will reply quickly and I use PayPal as well.

Have a wonderful day.
