This is the last batch of Unknowns for me this year but I have a lot of them. After sending orders out last week I immediately replaced the space in the fridge with new cuttings.

U. Natalina BI
U. Italian Yellow BI
U. Yellow Greek AD
U. South Plainfield
U. Orangeburg
U. Carini RG
Unknown of my choice. I have a limited supply of a few varieties. I'll supply one of those.

7 unknown varieties 3 cuttings of each. 21 cuttings!

Cold Hardy! Follow my other threads for more information on specific varieties.

$30 includes shipping. PM me if interested.

Is your unknown Natalina different than this known Natalina and how?:

Without the leaf its hard to say. Yes it is different. I don't want to claim that it is the real thing. It may be the same but I can't say for sure. I think my stem is a little shorter but it is very similar.

A few more packages left. If you are looking for figs you can actually plant in the ground (especially zone 6-7) send me a PM.

Same here as EB above, looking for in ground varieties for zone 8 in Camp Verde AZ. Would any of these fit the bill? Thanks for the generosity. Jodi

Absolutely! I'm just encouraging those in colder zones that they can grow them in the ground too. Not everyone is as lucky to live in zone 8. You will have no problem with these. Send me a PM to proceed.

received the cuttings the other day thank you for the fast shipping. I got them cleaned and repacked. there sitting in the fridge another month until im ready to root them. I do have some "life" rooting gel but don't think im going to use it unless I have problems. Im going to following your recommendations. I will keep you updated.

all the cuttings rooted out very well. any problems I had were from my own mistakes. i started them at the end of Feb in a few different batches. I rooted them in bags of coco coir in a tote bin that was hanging over my lights. they rooted or leafed out within about 3 weeks. I will take more pics and provide descriptions of the different unknowns in the future. I have even seen some small figs popping out already. more to come. IMG_0009.JPG

Great looking plants. What is on the top of the pots that looks like rice?

vito12831, yes those are (PBH) rice hulls. thanks

I noticed that having exposed soil with no mulch layer was attracting gnats of some kind. the rice hulls helped with water retention and the gnats. the rice hulls will not eliminate the gnats but it seemed to help.

can anyone help me with posting pictures. when I upload them from my camera they are to large to post on the site. max size is 1mb and most of my photos are to large. it seems that its 1mb counting all pics, is that correct? is there a simple way I can lower the size file for the site? what are some of simple way you guys do it. I was using paint and resizing, using adjust pixels. this takes me a few times. im looking for something easier. you can send me a pm about it instead of posting it in this topic. 

the fig next to the yellow pot in a 3 gallon is a Chicago Hardy from last year. the rest are all UNKOWNS from this springs cuttings.

If you are using a real camera and not a phone you can lower the size of the photos (resolution) in your settings. The smaller the resolution, the smaller the file size. No difference in quality will be seen when posting on the internet

Hi,
In paint instead of pixels, use percentage % and give it 25% or 10% both H and V . Save as my_small_pic_version .And you can post them.
You should consider giving them more fertilizer and by July, bigger pots if you want them to grow on sterïods - They may produce fruits one year sooner when growing faster.

I take pictures with my iPhone and then email them to myself (to get them to the PC).  When I email, the phone gives me the option to resize the pictures (which I do in order to post them).  If I just transfer the shots over via sync, the pictures remain the original size.

thanks guys. I got some better ideas now about how to upload pictures with my real camera. I didn't want to turn this thread into another topic.

I will be moving to 3 gallon pots soon that last picture was from 6 weeks ago. 31.png

Glad things are working out for you. I think a lot of other people are growing my figs right now with similar success. I have many of the unknown varieties available in 4"x4"x9" pots. Usually 2-3 cuttings per pot. $25 Inc shipping if interested. They are 6-10" ish.
