Hi all I live in the uk and am interested in getting a black mission fig but can't find a uk seller could someone please help it would be very much appreciated also would the black mission fig have alternative names ?

It's also known as Franciscana.

Such a shame i can't find a seller for mission fig in uk I would of liked to add it to my collection

I got 3 black mission fig trees, all of them with different leaves, I wonder that how many type of mission fig trees here?
I guess that it is very common fig trees, you will find them.

Hey,if you have your heart set on a Black Mission tree try searching nurseries in the EU.I knew I had seen one somewhere,finally managed to dig this up

I've not ordered from the before,just one I'm aware of

I have sent the site a query about whether they can ship to the UK and cost for courier as this is one I'm interested in too.I have tried rooting it and failed to keep alive twice after rooting,seemed more sensitive to moisture and failed to adjust when out of the humidity box I use for rooting when other varieties were fine.Maybe it was just me and my inexperience or the cuttings not being sufficiently hardened or something but it failed where others didn't.

Provided this company can ship reasonably ill order one.The plant is only 20LEI which is like £4 GBP.Ill post back with the price

When I click on add to basket it says "original Romanian text " , so I can't order also if it's a fragile fig variety maybe graft it to a brown turkey root stock ?

Yeah that's a problem I had with the google translate version,non translated version is bere;http://pepinierele-roman.ro/pomi-fructiferi/smochin/

I've tried the checkout thing too. It it's more like an enquiry form?.let me know how you get on.

I don't think you will have any issues with die back on this variety where you are,it doesn't really get cold enough,if it's a cold winter and the wood isn't hardened maybe some damage but we don't live in a zone where figs die to the ground,maybe a once in 50 year freeze like that.It is a variety which likes heat though so the bigger problem would be getting fruit to ripen reliably early,unsure how much grafting to an early variety would help,I know that works with other fruit( apples for example) but not much research has been done with figs in that area.
