Damn dan you had me till you lower cased god and upper cased Persian and yes I lower cased your name on purpose.!I have a job and your cuttings are on their way so f**k off and as far as chickens are concerned Black Copper Marans are the ones to get!! they are still keeping my belly full with the best tasting eggs you will ever eat.

This guy is a Joke, Golden Goddess LOL. I thought #165  was his last post. And one good member Brian left the forum. Sorry Charlie not shooting the messenger. 

God have mercy on my soul another drama queen has left the building!?!?

Wow...what a week!

And that's why everyone basically hated him...

Disagree with you there Grant,  Many folks feel as Devlsgro does, and not just the JV squad. Unless folks are  trying make quick turnaround on investment as you appear to. I don't have problem with that or  any other reason someone decides to spend their money, but to many folks this is a hobby for the fun of figs, many folks decide to sell as well, and that's fine, but probably not really smart to be lacing your disagreements with insults and making friends as fast as you seem to be if you plan on being a seller. As far as Cajunb being a drama queen as I assume that's who you are referring to nothing could be further from the truth. I don't recall ever communicating with Brian directly, but he always appears very easy going generous and showing a true passion for figs and sharing in his knowledge and respected by many. I believe he is probably as knowledgeable as Dan on the LSU figs but without all the arrogance.  Maybe a mistake was made I don't know we have all made mistakes. I am probably making one here even contributing to this thread.  

Best fig to all

Devlsgro- you can read about Dan's "dwarfing technique" here http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/1873529/dwarf-potted-fig?n=11

For full context, Dan linked to an eBay listing as proof of his technique, the pictures in the listing have expired, but from my memory it was nothing more than a severely stunted fig tree in a small bonsai pot so congested with roots that drainage suffered and there was a line on the trunk level with the rim of the pot. And also, Dan had just been banned from gardenweb and came back anonymously under the name King.fig. He later ranted about the event on his blog, (I think he was soon banned again) but never provided any supporting evidence for his claim. I made the mistake of responding to that and other baseless comments, he deleted my comments from his blog and posted outright lies about what I had written. Do not tap on the glass!

"Do not tap on the glass" Ha ha. I like that!

Ok Grant, I cross posted on using BB-10 DA and BB-10 BR (thanks for that suggestion Bob) over on OurFigs.  We'll see how civilized people will be.  I don't expect an issue....it's just a suggestion to try and help keep confusion down.  We shall see.

So, how many "chill hours" does Dan need before posting again?

I have both and personally if they are the same exact fig then don't expect me to call them anything but BB10....period. And if they are the exact same fig, we shouldn't expect any of the buyers to give them different names. Remember, the reason there are two different names for Genovese Nero? Because they are not the same fig, they are DIFFERENT with DIFFERENT names. Besides, Dan pretty much said, in his goodbyes, that they are the same fig.

Wayne, I totally agree with you....as soon as we know.  Are yours too young to provide a definitive prognosis at this point? 

I don't sell so I will keep them separate, and will not trade or gift until I know for sure, but if you can really understand what Dan is saying, they are the same. Go back and reread his/Charlie's posts. The only members that question the difference are the members that are having issues with Brian who has treated everyone great, as forum members and buyers from the forum and eBay. Again, I trust Dan when he said they are the same.

One from a CajunB source.

The only reason I suggested 2 similar names is that I didn't think anyone had both that were mature to compare.  If people have one from Brian and 1 from Dan and they're the same I have no problem with keeping the name the same.  I'm not trying to tell people what to do, I just think we should keep the sources separate since it seemed there was some confusion.

Last time, Dan says they are the same, Brian says they are the same and now Wills says they are the same,......why are we trying to make them different??? Where is the confusion?

Although at this point it may very well be beating a dead horse, comparisons of the BB10 cultivar to Sultane are NOT incompatible with the parting remarks made by someone who has left the forum, since the Sultane, according to some researchers who point to "United States Department of Agriculture’s accession records, which account for every plant material legally entered into the United States, mention Sultan as coming into the US circa 1930 as a gift to the United States from the Agricultural Commissioner of Algeria." Sultane is also an extremely popular fig in France with long historical roots. France's history in Algeria spans 5 centuries so that connection is also very strong. Lastly, the Sultani fig which is considered the same as Sultane by many, also has roots in Persia or what is present day Iran. IMHO, the Persian connection that was suggested in parting by HWNSNBS as an attempt to further sow confusion in the forum about the fig, if true, only serves to support and reinforce the Sultane as BB10 hypothesis.

"Climate Change" blogging...pass these on to dan for his blog ;)

Persia and Turkey have always had amazing fruit, even Israel imports Iranian pistachios via 3rd parties.

I have a russian pomegranite, the Marianna pomegranite, and a Syrian pomigranite aka "Austin" (rooted or cuttings) for trade. My fig collection is probly either too young or to common for most, but you can ask..:)

Looking for the Persian fig Dan calls BB10. :)

Thank you.

Charlie, if he let's no one see his blog then why blog?

http://kingfig2.blogspot.com/2015/02/here-is-my-new-and-originaly-theory-on.html?m=1

I found the climate change blog.

If there is anyone out there who has successfully rooted BB10 cuttings from Dan's recent auction I'd be interested in comparing notes. I also have BB10 from another source.

I'd rather start out doing this by PM. So please contact me.
