Hi everybody! I saw another thread started by somebody who was new, and I was almost going to introduce myself there, but I didn't want to steal their thunder. I've come to the forum over the last six months or so, but didn't sign up until today. My name is Fred and I live in New Jersey. My wife and I purchased a home last year and I moved one of my Dads fig trees by digging up part of the root and replanting it. It's doing well this summer but no figs yet. Over the last six months I've purchased some fig cuttings online and have had some success! I currently have three Italian fig cuttings, one black mission fig cutting, and one white fig cutting from Turkey that are doing relatively well. My wife is afraid that at some point our property is going to be overrun by fig trees! I just wanted to say hello and thank everybody for all of your use full information. __________________ New Jersey Zone 7A Growing: Italian, Black Mission, Godfather fig.

Welcome! We have lots of members in NJ, NY and PA. You can search members by location and look at posts from people near you. Bass isn't too far and he's posted a list of his favorite in-ground plants. Same with Herman2. Focus on getting the varieties that do best in your area so you'll leave 1-2% of your land without a fig tree planted. Good luck! __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

Pretty soon you'll be hiding fig cutting and tree purchases from her. lol __________________ Vince Russo Norwalk, CT Zone 7A Wish list - Any cuttings of the Col de Dames would be greatly appreciated.
