I prefer "Openly Figgy"

The difference between the figs I collect and the figs on let's say the west coast is that "my" figs are intentionally planted by someone who knew THAT fig, regardless of the name. It was so special to him that he brought it with him, most of the time by boat, and planted it at his new home. Now not all of them have that story, but many of them do. They do not grow wild here. Not many are hit or miss. They are all good, special, and unique. They are intentionally planted and shared with friends and neighbors. Have you ever met an old school Italian? They don't waste time or effort. They don't mess around with food. It has to be the best. If the fig was bland, or did not fruit well it would have been trashed a long time ago.

I have listed my extra cuttings for sale on EBay but they are still available here as long as they last. Above you will find the updated list. I'll try to keep it as current as possible.

I just added "Openly-Figgy" to my computer's dictionary so it no longer does a spelling correction. It's officially a word for me now.... I may contact Webster's

I am the son old-school Italians and I get back to that little bit of the "off the beaten path" Italian south every chance I get. I know this behaviour well. Homemade preserves in re-used jars and tomato sauce canned in old soda pop bottles. It's great.

Much respect for what you've done. I think we need to consider taking one of your unknowns and declaring it the "Delmanto"

Aaron, thanks for making these available.  I will be growing some of these.  By the way, have you tasted all of them and can you provide any information about the flavor characteristics?

Bump

Aaron, excellent offer of figs that went out. I will be keeping an eye out the next time you consider putting together these cutting packages. I definitely believe buying local figs of similar climate is beneficial to growing success!
