Update - All... Thank you for the great response. The number of requests has now reached a point where I can no longer accept additional requests until I ship out all the initial requests and determine what is left. I will update again at that time if there are sufficient cuttings available to offer. There is not much I can tell you about this variety except what I already have, they are classified as UNK, they usually produce loads of medium size purple skinned figs that show surface cracking when fully ripe (except this year when a severe late frost nipped new growth; the plants sprang back with new growth again but produced no figs; that said, the plants are very cold hardy), have a light, sweet berry flavor and although likely having it, they haven't exhibited a lick of FMV that I can recall in the 25 years that I have had the plants in ground. Let me know by PM if you want them and we can exchange the necessary information... T

If anyone is interested, I'll ship the free cuttings for just the cost of S&H, your choice either $3 for USPS first class mail or $7 for priority shipping.

Thought you were getting rid of them !!! Lol. Great effort on your part to give away cuttings. Fun to see others getting fruit from a cutting you gave
