Annual Wish List 2016-17 of 6 most desirable cuttings

This kind of thread has been providing Forum members a single venue for listing their wish-list of most desirable cuttings (or plants) for the coming fall and winter season. Many people have been listing their wish-list under their signature but this thread provides you a single place/thread to find out ‘who is seeking what’ in case you might have available for trade and initiate a trade opportunity by contacting the poster of the wish-list ( by PM or email) informing him that you can provide in trade cuttings (or plant) of a variety in his wish-list if he has something available from your wish-list in trade /exchange  (or for the cost of shipping and handling if that is preferred).

Examples can be seen by newcomers in the previous year wish-list thread at http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/annual-wishlist-of-6-most-desirable-cuttings-for-201516-7606573?pid=1288725605

To make the thread efficient, it is advisable to:
(i)...limit your list to only the 6 most desirable cuttings on your wish-list for the year 2016-17.
(ii)..have only one post per member with the actual wish-list, keeping it updated in order to keep your post valid (with short comments like... promised / received / not needed anymore etc) as the case may be.
(iii).. Trade related negotiation should preferably be done through PMs or email outside the thread.

 Good luck with your Wish-List.

Here is my wish-list of six:
1- De La Reina        
2- Sbay
3- Vasilika Mavra
4- Black Ischia       (rooted plant died past winter)
5- Galicia Negra

6- Any good one that does not need root-pruning and can defend itself against raccoons

          If you have any of the above for trade, let me know what you are looking for in exchange in case I have it (… reasonable probability). I will have cuttings in the fall for trade/exchange.

3 panache. MADE TRADE

Akram, the 6th one on your list, would be a very hard-to-find fig :)

Navid.

Ottowan, your #6 would be a very interesting looking fig tree...lol

Below is my wish list. I have been blessed by some generous members here in the past and although I am always happy to receive a generous gift, I really enjoy this list because it gives me the opportunity to bless some new member with a few cuts from my humble collection.

Thanks for posting this!

MY WISH LIST:
Sweet Joy
Lamperia Preta
Ponte Tresa
St. Jean
Italian 398
Black Ischia

Akram,

I have #6 for you.

I taped a couple figs to the wife.

I'm sure she'll crop something, lol.

Already sent, no returns.

    Thanks, Mike

Mike
So you have #6 in my wish-list then probably you might have grown it in 300-gallon pot with a tight cage around it. Good idea for no root-pruning requirement and defence against raccoons. Thanks.

I'm just starting out here in Zone 5, so most anything would be appreciated at this point.
But if I have to list six, here is my list, in no particular order: 

Dalmatie (promised, Thank You!)
Malta Black
Celeste Improved
Hunt Fig
Florea (promised, Thank You!)
Dark Portuguese


Cheers!

The first three below is to verify that they are the same/ similar as Black Madeira in my location. There are others who are in the process of confirming the answer in their local condition, at least two that I am aware of. I was lucky enough to purchase a small Black Madeira from Trees of Joy, but no luck with the first 3 yet. They are very slow growers for the most part so getting any early is preferred, according to what I read.

I read somewhere that GM 172 is suppose to taste like Black Madeira and I-395 is supposedly better tasting than I-258, which is suppose to taste like Black Madeira. And so goes the theme. And lastly, USDA Black Ischia ranks up there as well, when it produces figs and doesn't die. I figure if going after regular Ischia was so frustrating, I might as well go for the rare and extremely difficult so hopefully it would lead to a reverse case. Good luck to all of us!

Out there, very close to zero chance wishlist:
1. Violeta
2. Portugal Black Madeira
3. Figo Preto
4. GM 172
5. I-395
6. USDA Black Ischia

Thanks Alan for making my personal acquisition list longer by two. : )

Edit: I have started a new thread based on this idea of figs that taste like Black Madeira or better. The link is below. https://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/figs-that-taste-like-black-madeira-8202599?pid=1293049275#post1293049275

Wow has a whole year gone by already?? Geez time flies when your obsessively collecting fig trees lol! Let's see, this is a tough one.. my top most wanted six varieties for the upcoming year would have to be:

1) Andreas' PAS (It just looks sooo amazing!)
2) Sweet Joy (found thanks!)
3) Rigato del Salento
4) Black Tuscan
5) LSU Jack Lily (in progress thanks!)
6) LSU Red (in progress thanks!)

I've actually got a decent number of nice varieties this year to offer trade on.. I'm in the US though so unfortunately that limits me in my ability to trade with forum members outside of the states.. Pm me if you'd like to do some trading, I also have plenty of A/L's going for anyone interested in trading already rooted trees, or for cuttings on the above list.. I'd love to hear from yas!

Hi Everyone,

It's fig cutting season again, my favorite! I will cover shipping, and may have some VDB and EBT to trade. I am currently experimenting to find fig varieties I like and ones that are cold hardy. I currently looking to purchase land and plan on getting a green house so that should help with varieties that taste great but don't do well in my zone.

My top 6 figs on my wishlist are:
1.) Malta Black (sourced)
2.) CDD gris or blanc
3.) Longue D' Aout
4.) Petite Negra
5.) Sicilian Black JR
6.) Favorite cold hardy fig (love to try other members favorite)

Hello,

1- Chicago Hardy (received, thank you)
2- Ronde de Bordeaux (cuttings obtained)
3- Florea
4- Longue d' Aout
5- Improved Celeste
6- Malta Black (cuttings obtained)

I just started with figs six weeks ago and so I do not have anything to exchange. Of course I am quite willing to pay postage and handling and even pay for the cuttings, if desired.

Thanks for the opportunity.
