Merry Christmas to all, this site is completely greater than the sum of its parts, although it's parts are all individually amazing. I just lost a Brooklyn white cutting for the third time and am completely frustrated. I'd like to purchase a tree of this specimen. Anyone with the Bass variety who has and would like to sell one, I'd greatly appreciate it. Doesn't need to be big just well rooted thanks and God bless.

It's no problem.
I can head out to the orchard tomorrow and find you something.
I will start you a few in the closet.
My 3 cup under led lights is working well this year.

As my memory of the story goes. A member named Bass found the tree growing in somebody's front yard in brooklyn ny.
It was cold hardy and cuttings were sold from it.

It is a very robust growing fig and my tree was loaded last year.
The taste definitely improved with age on this one.
"It seems similar to Naples white? How similar are they?"
Don't know, I do not have Naples white.
