Wanted to update: Everything is spoken for and has been shipped out. I should have more cuttings in a week or so. I'll let everyone I spoke with know what's up. Hope they do well for everyone!

All the best,
Charles

Also, someone named F. Carter sent me money for shipping. I tried to email you in regards to what cuttings to ship, I haven't heard back. So please email me, when you can.

To everyone I spoke with, I mailed the cuttings out this afternoon via USPS Priority Mail. You all should have the cuttings in next couple of days.

I'm planning on pruning my trees this weekend. So if I can, I'll get with those who sent me a PM and hopefully I can send some cuttings your way.

Dr. Gowaty, was grandparents neighbor in Alabama. He traveled to Israel and brought back cuttings from a tree that was prevalent in his town where he grew up. This was well over 60 years ago. It was grown by both him and my grandparents in zone 7 unprotected. It's a rather large fig with a fairly tight eye that holds up pretty well down here in South Louisiana. Produces two main crop figs and is one of the more vigorous cultivars I own. Flavor wise, its slightly acidic with a bit of berry and is not overly sweet. The seeds are relatively large which adds texture and some nuttiness.

I remember when I was a kid and would visit the farm, my grandmother would make scratch biscuits every morning. She then would go pick a handful of figs and cook them down in a bit of sugar. So good, it make you wanna slap ya momma! Ive tried to replicate it numerous times, but it's not the same.

Here are some photos:






The pulp is much darker on the first crop that ripens in the summer. These were harvested in the Fall (2nd main crop).


All the best,
Charles

Doesn't look like Dr Gowaty is going to work out for me.  Been in the rooting box for 30 days.  no sign of roots nor green buds.  and tops are starting to get soft. :(  Other stuff has been rotated in and out of the same box and rooted fine.  I guess this cultivar is just tough to root.

I have a whip/tongue graft and a chip graft of Dr. G and await results.  That looks like one great fig, and any that tolerate our south LA weather is a winner in my book.
