I've made note next to the ones I'm out of now. I still have cuttings left of all the others. Please email (please don't PM) me if interested. I now have the following cuttings available if anyone is interested. They are all decent size pieces with many being large enough to make 2-3 cuttings out of. The first ones listed are just $2 each to forum members: > Italian Honey > Hardy Chicago > Algerian - Watts (Out) > Armenian - Watts (Out) > Pied de Boeuf - Watts (Out) > Paris Purple - (Out) (This may be a Celeste type but it's not the same as the Celests I have in my yard. This variety was found growing in Paris, TN where it has grown into two 10' + bushes. It never gets any winter protection and doesn't die back.) With the exception of the Italian Honey, I have very limited quantities of the varieties above. Most will be limited to just 2 pieces per person. First come, first served. The following varieties are $3 per cutting. The size and quality of these is the same as mentioned above: > Acciano > Dottato > Salce > Troiano Calabrese > Unknown Owensboro (Out) - This fig was found growing in Owensboro, KY. It is proving to be a special fig with exceptional flavor. Some of you here can attest to that. ( Only 10 pcs available ). Many of you have rec'd some of the Italian varieties mentioned above. But I know there may be others who haven't had opportunity to get some yet. I do have plenty of Mario's varieties left (getting low on T. Calabrese though) so anyone is welcome to request them. If you're interested in any of these please email me. Please don't PM me because the forum PM system fills up too fast. Use this email address: wildfruitnut@yahoo.com Man, I'm looking forward to spring! Expecting a low of about 0 tomorrow night. I'm not lovin' it. __________________ Fig Well And Prosper! Bill - SW KY.

Hey Alan. The O-boro fig may very well be a Sal's EL . I can't say for sure though because I don't have a Sal's to compare it to. So, I can't say one way or the other. I just know it was one of my best tasting figs this year. It made me stop and stare at the tree I just pulled the little fruit from. Very good, rich, sweet, berry-ish flavor. This one is very well worth any efforts to propagate & grow. I would consider it among my top five for flavor - IMO. I may not be so great at describing flavor and texture but I'll give it a shot. The Acciano has a hint of a "grapey" flavor -to my palate anyway. It is more of a juicy fig. But I definitely would not call it watery because it has plenty of flavor. I really like it and could eat a bowl full of them ;-) . __________________ Fig Well And Prosper! Bill - SW KY. Zone 6b. 36.5N I'm fruitnut on ebay.

I'm all out of the Unknown Owensboro fig. For those who requested some of these, I may have rooted cuttings in the fall. __________________ Fig Well And Prosper! Bill - SW KY. Zone 6b. 36.5N I'm fruitnut on ebay.

Thanks for offering these varieties, saxonfig :) Quote: Originally Posted by saxonfig They are all decent size pieces with many being large enough to make 2-3 cuttings out of. Should I chop up the cutting first and then root the parts? Or should I root the whole cutting first (wrapped up in a baggie or whatnot) and then chop it up into sections that each have their own roots? __________________ James, zone 6a Kansas (zone 10 greenhouses); wish list is in my profile http://www.FigCuttings.com

Never have I received better packaged cuttings. Each one wrapped tight in saran and all in a ziploc. They look great and I will include them on my frankenfig come spring. Thanks so much!

I've only read one report on Salce. It is really as tasty as what I read? Forgot the author but from what I recall when he was a boy he would throw all the other figs to the hogs and kept the Salce for him self. Is it that good of a fig and would you recommend it for the hot and humid south? __________________ Rob Zone 9a/9b were the too meet.

Yippeee ….. received my “Acciano” and “Salce” today also! After reading more reviews, I’m so looking forward to growing these out. Nice cuttings too, really got some shoulders on them, hope they will root easily. Now, just to decide the rooting method! So many new ideas posted lately, like Harvey’s, have got me pondering…… Thanks again… __________________ Jack San Diego, North County Coastal Zone 9A Wish List for 2015: Black Madeira, Col de Dame Blanc.

Again, I'm very glad to hear that everyone's cuttings seem to be making it in good shape. I hope you all make some nice trees out of them. These really are some very good varieties. By the way, I do still have more cuttings for anyone who hasn't had the chance to get some yet. Just send me an email & we'll work out the details: wildfruitnut@yahoo.com. -Bill. __________________ Fig Well And Prosper! Bill - SW KY. Zone 6b. 36.5N I'm fruitnut on ebay.
