Also, I should have a simple website up soon. Once that's up & running I will list all my available cuttings on there from that time on. As long as it's alright with Jon, I will make that link available here. It would also only make sense to refer visitors to my site to come here to learn more about delicious figs :-).
For now, here's what's available at this time. Prices range from $3 to $10 per cutting depending on variety, rarity, & other factors.:
$3.00 cuttings:
-
Unknown Green German (Don't recall where I got this one. No ripe fruit yet but it was loaded with unripe figlets at end of season this year).
-
Violetta or Strawberry Verte (Got tag mixed up & was unable to narrow it down between the two. It is one or the other though. Waiting for fruit to find out which).
$5.00 Cuttings:-
Brunswick (Very cold hardy. Wood seems to survive brief temps into the single digits. Unfortunately ants in KY love this one :-/. )
-
Danny's Delight-
Hardy Chicago-
Unknown Fig From Owensboro, KY (Similar to HC but consistently has even better flavor)
-
Violette de Bordeaux (Great variety worth more than this but offered here due to it being quite common within the fig community)
-
Yellow Long Neck$7.00 Varieties:-
UCD 143-36/Emerald Strawberry-
GM 25 (Produced a single fruit one season but fruit dropped before ripening. Could need pollination. Just not yet determined)
-
GM 125-C (Still unproven in my orchard) (
Sorry this variety is no longer available. According to the source, 125-C turned out to be a Caprifig.)
-
Martin's Unknown Black (Very large black fig. Produced many ripe figs for me this season in spite of sooo much rain all summer)
-
Native de Argentile (Really great tasting fig)
-
Nero 600m- Ronde de Bordeaux$8.00 Varieties:-
Abebereria- Black Zadar (BC)- JH Adriatic- Longue d' Aout (What a great fig. Produced many high quality ripe fruit for me in spite of all the rain. Will propagate multiples of this one :-))
-
Troiano Calabrese (High quality green fig from Italy. Amber flesh. Large and super sweet. One of Mario's top 3 figs. He wouldn't have brought from home if it wasn't a good one ;-) ).
-
Vesuviana Bianca (Comes from base of Mt. Vesuvius. Very unique leaf shape/pattern)
-
Violet Sepor $10.00 Cuttings:-
GM 175 (Delicious purple beauty. No ripe fruit this year because of the rain but last year they were awesome! Will likely do best in dryer summers)
-
Preto (One of the great figs & one of my personal favorites)
-
Violette de Sollies (High quality french queen)
-
Scott's Yellow (This is allegedly one of the un-released LSU varieties. Mine was loaded with green fruit this year but didn't have time to ripen - Rain! I received mine from Dan a few years ago. This variety was discussed

Many of these varieties will fill only a couple orders and will be gone for the season due to limited material. While others will be available for months. I will be adding more varieties as time goes on.
If you would like additional info on some of the varieties please do a search before contacting me. I'll help if/when I have time but I will, no doubt, be quite busy filling orders.
As the season goes on I will also try to get some new pics & info posted here on some of the varieties listed above. I took a few pics of some of these this past summer & fall.
While I do have a wide range of cutting diameters available, many are in the 1-1 1/2 inch range. If you would prefer smaller cuttings please specify when you contact me. Otherwise, I will send sizes randomly & you may get some big ones. If you want cuttings specifically for grafting be sure to let me know the size range you would prefer. I will try to accommodate when possible.
99% of my cuttings are 8 to 9" in length. When making cuts I insure that all pieces have at least 3 nodes per cutting. The vast majority have more than 3 nodes per piece. This is an especially important consideration when buying material for grafting. More nodes generally mean more potential trees out of each cutting.
Please email me with your order requests. My PM will be turned off. In some cases it may take me awhile to get back to you. Be patient, I will respond in time.
