I'm starting to put together a cold-hardy fig collection thanks so much to tylerj and sammy, but I'm still trying to track down florea figs. It's a bit harder because I'm in Canada and none of the online sites here seem to sell it. Does anyone have florea figs that they'd be willing to sell me? Thanks for your time.

I'm trying to rebuild my collection with a focus on cold hardy figs. I currently have florea cuttings I purchased from mnedelcu on ebay. I will share cuttings with you after the growing season this year if you still need florea. I am interested in the Nordland (Northland) and Violetta Bayernfeige I used to be known as mrhappy here in case any of you remember me

I live in BC, Canada, I totally agree with you that how hard to get some named fig trees here. I am able to get one Florea fig cutting only. If I am lucky that it grow up, I will share some cuttings to you

mark0, have you tried Harvey C? He grows Florea and ships internationally.

Thanks for all the replies. Yeah, it definitely seems to be harder to track down cultivars in Canada. I guess if I can't find any this spring, I'll get in touch and see if anyone has cuttings in the fall. I'll try to get in touch with Harvey C - it's been hard to find people who ship internationally.

I think Adriano has Violetta Bayernfeige - you would definitely want to try it.

As far as i know Bayernfeige Violetta is just a renamed English Brown Turkey.
Nonetheless its a good fig.
