$5.00 Varieties:
- GM 25

If you would like additional info on some of the varieties please do a search here before contacting me. I'll help if/when I have time but I will, no doubt, be quite busy filling orders.

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.

95% 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.

 



The links provided for the Scott's Yellow look like 3 different figs.  The green fig is not even close to the Scott's Yellow.

Only one of them is scotts yellow kirt. He was just providing a pic. They have names under them.

Email sent :)

Richie - Are we looking at the same pictures?  The Links are all titled Scott's Yellow and none of the 3 links that I am seeing has titles under the pictures.  In my opinion, the only one that looks like the Scott's Yellow is the second one.  The first one looks like a LSU Gold (Squat with Flat bottom)

Ok. Click only the top line of first link. It should bring up a pic from dan. It will have on pic of three figs. Lsu yellow looks similar to lsu gold but inside has red & gold center. The pic is there just hard to find. Lol.





Why were the other 2 links deleted?  There were 2 other links in the original posting, 1 showing a LSU Gold, and 1 showing a Scott's Yellow.

The pictures that you have left after your edit were only in 1 of the links.

Looking to grab few cuttings Please get in touch so I can make requests. Thank you

Hey Danny.
I temporarily deleted those just to look more closely at them and to take the time to see what else had been posted about this variety. The first link is most closely related to why I got this fig. I got cuttings directly from the person who posted those pictures.

I've restored one of those two links. The third one did look to be too green compared to the pics in the other two.

To clarify, I've only gotten one small, under developed ripe fruit from my trees to date. It seems to be slow to put on fruit and too much rain will stall fruit development. That's just what we had this summer. The larger tree was loaded with fruit this year but they didn't have time to ripen before it got too cold.

So, it is still not completely proven in my orchard. I am offering it for sale as it is based on how & where I sourced this variety. As long as the source was honest with me it should be the variety illustrated in the two links above. Although the fruit in the two links look pretty different in shape. One could have been breba or just happen to be an odd fruit.

After looking at several other threads on this variety I can clearly see why you want as much info and clarification as possible. Me too. Hopefully next season will be a bit dryer and the fruit will develop properly. Thus proving for certain the characteristics of the fruit from this tree.

For those interested in this variety, I hope this additional information helps.

This link might also be useful concerning the Scott's Yellow. This link shows the fruit from Danny's tree. The fruit from mine should prove to be the same as this: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/lsu-scotts-yellow-7493321?pid=1287839444 

Can someone please send me his email address, thank you


Bill

thanks
Brad

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 here: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/lsu-scotts-yellow-5384364?pid=1269301831
And here: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/scotts-yellow-5412411?pid=1269535426

US shipping only.

Shipping charges:
1-9 cuttings = $3
10-20 cuttings = $5
21 or more pieces shipping will be fixed at $10.00

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.

Hey Brad.

I've got about a dozen emails to reply to at the moment. You are among them. My replies may be a little slow until after the weekend but I am slowly going through emails and processing orders in between caring for family & stuff.

When placing an order use this address: wildfruitnut@gmail.com

Also when you contact me with an order please go ahead and send your mailing address. That will help to expedite things a bit. 

Thanks.


This message is for Jstall. 

I've rec'd your order but have not been able to reply to the email address you contacted me through. When I reply I keep getting a message failed reply.

If you have another email that you can contact me with please give that a try. I'd like to get your order together for you. Please get back to me. If need be, we can unlock our PM just long enough to get you processed.

Thanks.

I've added Acciano, Dottato, and Salce to the list above.
More of Mario's figs from the Molise and Calabria regions of Italy :-)

Mario's top 3 favorite figs are Acciano, Troiano Calabrese, and Salce. Dotatto comes in #4.
He also reminded me this fall that Acciano gets a huge breba fig "about the size of a baseball" as he put it! The main crop are still pretty big figs but not near the size of the breba. 

Thanks for the cuttings last year. I ended up with lots of trees.

(40) Violetta: (light brown skin, sweet sugar type figs.)

(50) Violette De Bordeaux: (delicious, 100's ripening ATM.) One of them has a branch with variegated leaves and figs forming.

(25) LSU Scott's Yellow: (Lots of figs forming, looks like a good, healthy and productive variety. Long neck, light green figs. Maybe in a month I will have one to try.)

(50) JH Adriatic: Lots of figs forming. This variety is tied with LSU Scott's Yellow for being easiest to root. Both had all cuttings rooted in 13 days.

(8) GM 175: Very horizontal growing. Huge amount of figs forming. Fruit are shaped similar to Figo Preto.

(6)GM 125-c: Has figs forming.

(2) GM 25: Has figs forming will see if they hold or fall off soon.

(1) Baud's Sucrette: Slowly growing.

For those concerned about Bill, I can vouch for Bill. He's one of the best collectors we have with some amazing rare figs. Get these now before it's too late!!

That was nice of you to say Dennis. Thank you.

Hey Sid. Looks like you did quite well with all of those.
Have you actually gotten ripe fruit from the Violetta? 

It looks like that lateral growth habit of the GM 175 is going to be a consistent characteristic of this variety. 

Just a heads up on the GM 125-C. I was informed by the source of this variety that it turned out to be a Caprifig. So no edible fruit from that one. Upon this info being brought to my attention I've discontinued offering it for sale.

If anyone would like to have the parent tree I will be getting rid of it. Not sure of how you might use it but let me know if you're interested in it. 

@saxonfig: I got several ripe figs off of the Violetta, but removed most of them since they were growing slowly. The flavor might change next year since they are all being planted in ground.

GM 125-c is different than GM 125? Are there 3 GM 125's AB&C?

Harvey posted this picture of his GM 125.

https://m.facebook.com/Figaholics/photos/a.560029974057420.1073741827.556076651119419/933986503328430/?type=3&theater

I was going to experiment with pollinating my non-persistent Capri figs with edible persistent Capri fig pollen. I wanted to see if that will lead to seedlings that are mostly persistent edible Capri figs.

Yes, apparently the 125 that Harvey has is different than the 125-C. I may grow mine for another season or two just to see if it actually does anything.....

OK, I guess I need to jump in here ...

For those who have it, GM 125 (no APPENDS) was my 'first' cut from a very good fig tree, loaded with small dark delicious dark purple fruit.
I marked an "X" with my clippers on a limestone rock to remember the exact spot.

Went back a few days later for a 'second' cut and apparently all the fruit was harvested.
Looked for my X but could not find it ?!? So by MISTAKE I wrongly cut from a nearby 3 tree cluster and numbered them GM 125 A-C.
Sorry to say that GM 125 A-C may just be duds - aka caprifigs! 

My apologies,
-George.

gorgi
a man rented a boat and was fishing in a lake.. He caught more fish than ever. he wanted to mark the spot so he painted an x on the bottom of the boat. The next day he went back to catch more fish, but someone had rented the boat.

Funny Sparky. I guess someone moved George's rock unless he took it with him to ensure no one would move it :-) LOL! 

Just messing with you George. All in fun.

No worries on that variety though. I did remove it from the list and I won't be offering it again.

A few people did get this one from me. If I recall correctly, last season was the first time I distributed it at all.

If there's anyone who previously rec'd GM 125-C from me and you feel the least bit slighted in light of this new information, I'd like the opportunity to make things right. I will offer to send you a replacement variety in the form of cuttings from the list I have available now. This will be a number of cuttings equal (if possible) to what you originally rec'd of GM 125-C. You may choose from any one (1) variety only.

If you rec'd GM 125-C from me and would like to take advantage of this replacement offer please contact me via email. Sorry but I will only fulfill this offer after I've confirmed in my records (or past email communications) that you actually received this one from me - obviously.

Hi....Do you have any varieties where the figs might have a "berry" type flavor?  Thanks for letting me know, Barb
