12/19/16 12:30 PM - - All cuttings gone! Hello everyone. It's that time of year again. All the pruning is finally done and this will be the first giveaway. I'm happy to report that this fig tree is alive! Here's a link to the original story. This is the variety that I had added to our collection as DG#7 but has now been referred to as Sandy, so will leave it at that. My visit earlier this year found the tree dead with one small shoot coming up from the black root mass. I didn't expect it to do anything. Boy was I wrong! It came back very strong, pushing out lots of new growth. I cleared all the weeds and vines that were growing up the large dead trunks. The dead branches and other debris were removed and it is now opened up to the sun. The tree has endured so much over the last few years that it's hard to believe it's still around. Hurricane Sandy, the Polar Vortex of 13 and 14, and a round of Ground-Clear; it's hardy to say the least. She has a very beautiful leaf pattern and is very vigorous. Judging from what was left this year it will probably be a green fig but would love to hear from others that are growing this variety from last year. Would like to see some pictures if possible. Here are some pics from late this summer. Will try to get some pics of what it looks like now with all of the growth and dead branches removed. There should be plenty of material to go around. The cuttings look nice and healthy. They're all around 7-9 inches. I tried keeping 3 nodes on each cutting but some will have 2 nodes due to long spacing. Raising the price from last year to $5.50 for 5 or 6 cuttings. That includes the postage. Paypal $5.50, Friends and Family, to danny@nycfigs.com. Please PM your shipping address. We are also giving away Sweet Diana right now. If you want both varieties I'll upgrade to Priority shipping for you at no additional cost, but please send $5.50 for each offering for a total of $11.00. So if you want to give your loved ones an inexpensive Christmas gift now is the time to do it. Fig cuttings make great stocking stuffers! The extra 50 cents per package will go to paying Dominic who helped keep an eye on his 1 year old brother while Dad took care of the Sandy fig tree. He also helped to carry the pruned branches back to the house. Having him help make the cuttings in 21F temps would have just been cruel Oh well.... he'll have to learn sometime! __________________ Danny NYC Z7a It's all about the figs!

For heaven's sake, there was nothing wrong with the post. I deliberately took your comment out of context for what hopefully was comedic effect. Put it back! :) __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.
