Bursa siyahi is grown here everwhere and every garden but not for trade.So as you said %22 is not stayed in Bursa in Turkey.We also eat a lot and stay us enough amount of fig.Its size,shape,resistant for shipping is its main characteristics and this makes it number one.How can I add it to database I dont know.

As I see from its leaves it grows well but sorry,hard to say it is bursa siyahi,it is necessary to see fruits to confirm.

I search on the website of the Rolling river Nursery and the picture of Black Bursa is wrong.if you buy this plant considering to grow bursa siyahi,sorry to say that it is not.For further info contact with me.

I wouldn't be worried.  I looked at that site and they use the same photo for figs for which they don't have a photo.  You'd think they'd put in a dark fig photo, but.... 

Post a photo of your fig, once it produces.  You may have purchased the right fig.  Never knew about that nursery until now.  Happy they had Norman's yellow.  It was nice to read what they said about it.  I have two started in ground from cuttings sent me by a member last year.  My late dad's name was Norman, so it will be a fave if it's anything like Rolling River Nursery's description.   I seem to be a fan of yellow figs.  Love Kadota, and Mary Lane Seedless (not seedless) has so much honey ooozing out, and is so rich and juicy, I would have an entire orchard of that one!

Altadenama, if you'd like one of my rooted Norman's Yellow, just come over and dig it up.  You would just take the 10 S and exit 79.  I'm in the South Hills overlooking the town of Hemet.  It's in ground.  I root them all in ground.  Fungus gnats no problem that way, but slugs!  OMG... always something!

these are the fruits of bursa siyahi fig

     Suzi, Thank you for your kind offer. Next time I'm out your direction, I may take you up on it. Right now everything is beginning to bloom, leaf out. I'm scrambling to get the winter fertilizer in the ground and finish the winter pruning before every thing turns to petals.
     I was very pleased with Rolling River Nursery. I ordered last week, and the trees arrived yesterday, well rooted in 4"x4"x10" pots. Almost as much of an "instant gratification" experience as eBay. They state on their website "No Image Available" for Bursa Siyahi, so the green fig picture is obviously a generic one.
     This is my favorite Bursa Siyahi picture. They look the size of apples (my apples -at least).

 
 

That's a nice photo! I was thinking to order a Bursa also. We can compare the results of the trees that grow a few miles apart :)
I know the wasp is common in Pasadena, I am sure you have them too.

:( they are out of stock as of 2 min ago

yes but I have enough stock:-)

Is not it illegal to order from Turkey?

Very much illegal.  Won't get through customs. 

Suzi

Or you will get visit from USDA?
Is it true?

yes it is illegal.

I wouldn't chance it.  I ordered some Pistachio seeds from Turkey on Ebay.  Got the letter of confiscation by the United States Department of Agriculture.  They didn't visit, but they always could.  Be careful.

just share info about figs in Turkey, bernard.
do not worry about that.
I want to help and introduce Turkish figs to people from different countries

1. Illegal
2. The nursery sells a nice rooted tree. Is it better to wait when they have them in stock again since the gain is about 1 year and a peace of mind.
3. The price of shipping cuttings from Turkey is about the same as buying a rooted fig in the US

these are our wonderful wasps and caprifig

Too bad anybody from USA allowed to buy from Turkey- it is illegal and USDA will visit your garden and probably confiscate all your fig trees.

Yes you are right.

You should indicate it on you eBay listing, so your clients  from USA will know and will not have a problem. It will be only fear.
And it was been mention before.

Harvey, where did you find your caprifigs? From some of your earlier posts here, you were looking for them last year.
Rolling River sent me this monster size Marabout with branches than should produce a fig or two this year, unlike their Bursa Siyahi, which is just a small whip by comparison. But it will need pollination from a caprifig. There are probably some wild figs growing in the arroyo around a mile away, but apparently its better if the branches of the caprifig and Smyrna type fig are entwined.  
I have a “volunteer” fig tree that is growing on the other side of the yard from my original mother fig, but couldn't tell you if it’s sourced from the mother plant’s root or seed.  

This article warns against overpollinating Calimyrna figs: http://waynesword.palomar.edu/pljun99a.htm

Is it possible my original fig tree is a caprifig? I never liked the taste of them. Today I found on it what was left of an old fig from last year, perhaps a mamme? The mockingbirds aren’t going to let any fruit sit around on trees here for long.
