very unique fig. true Dall'Osso is well illustrated in older document. once you slice it through the middle it looks different from deformed fig. truly a collector's fig. i prefer things that's more for eating than looking at :) __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

I have some rare figs not mentioned in this forum. This is just another addition to my collection. I don't want to list all that I have. But my collection won't get as large as Jon's. __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

Congrats Dennis. Sure happy it came from Olga. She had invested plenty of time getting a classic collection. Hope Olga will make available more figs via ebay. Thanks for the humming bird video clip. Amazing quality.

It was a pretty penny Grasa, but I wanted it. Now, I can't eat out for lunch for at least 30 days! Oh well, we need to enjoy life while we can! Olya, and I emailed each other today. She is a very nice person! She said, the two of us were vying for the same figs over the years! Ha! Who knew? But this time she won! __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

Congrats Snaglpus. Did you know that in some labs they can make a tree out of each centimeter of wood ? :) __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

What keeps these figs so rare? If people are interested in them, why don't they get propagated more? __________________ Paul the Fig Tree Destroyer in Fallbrook, CA (Zone 10A )
