Im thinking about splitting an order from Durio nursery with my brother so we can get some varieties not found 'round here (well, that'd be almost every variety, as all that most nurseries carry in these parts are Brown Turkey and Celeste).

He and some others thinks they're synonyms, some others think they're not. Petite Negri is probably different from what I've heard. There are similarities. Of course there are similarities among all varieties of Ficus carica so some of it will depend where you fall on the lumper/splitter spectrum.

For now I intend to treat the synonyms as the same fig. I've got VDB, and if Negronne and Petit Negri aren't the same, they are obviously close enough that I'm not going to get the diversity I'm wanting for now, to add them. Same with the Verte, Ischia, Strawberry thing, and others.

James before you place an order please call Dalton Durio. I had a friend stop in there a month back on a Saturday on got to talk to Dalton face to face. My friend wanted to buy a couple of varieties but Dalton said he had none for sale. He was way behind in his work as he's been doing landscaping work out of town. My friend said the place looked a little run down and weed infested. I hope he get it back on track for he's such a nice guy to work with. If you do get in touch with him please let us know the outcome. The trees I've gotten from him were always very good.
