PS If you are interested I am asking $7 for 3 pieces of LP, postage $7 about 30 pieces left out of 72. See my post "A few cuttings from a lover of figs..." for other varieties.  I'd sure rather have these guys on their way to being trees than kindling for my pizza oven. Please PM me if these are of interest or if you have questions. Happy figging, Jodi

Hello Jodi Pm sent. Thanks

Hey everyone I have been so honored by your interest in this elder's fig tree, Lampa Parda.  He is smiling at the thought of his fig tree going out all over the country.  Thank you for bringing a smile to a longtime gardeners face.  Thank you they are all spoken for.  Happy Holy Days everyone.

Hi Jodi,

Perhaps I missed it, but did your tree produce and ripen any fruit in AZ? If yes which one?

Hello SAS. I started several airlayers of the green fig Lampa Parda in August.  Bringing them back to AZ in September.  Right now they are happily growing, including some brebas, in a south window inside.  I will be trying one in ground this next year here at my house and at Daisy's house in the Verde Valley.  It is scary and interesting how different all the varieties are.  Hoping this one does well here also.  Warmly, Jodi

Cuttings of the Unk Point Loma/Lampa Parda came today. Can't wait for these babies to grow and give me and my family some of that beautiful fruit!!

Thanks,
Wendy

Cool Wendy I am glad that they safely arrived.  They really are an amazing color of purple (my favorite color, especially with green as they are on these figs).   I am excited that so many people have been interested in this old gardener's tree.  It is making a lot of people happy to think of this fig tree winging it's way around the world.  Please keep me posted on how it does for you.  The airlayers I did for the family are going gang busters and I have even had to pull some brebas off already.  Happy figging, Jodi

Hi Jodi. Your Point Loma fig seems to be VERY similar to the Lampeira which grows in Prusch Park, in San Jose. It was brought to CA many years ago from Portugal, as well. It produces 2 excellent crops, with the brebas having an unusual raspberry color. They are large, though not so large as the Lampa Parda described by Francisco. I have called it Lampeira Prusch, as it does not seem to be Lampeira Branca, a common fig in Portugal. I posted photos several times, but cannot now. Very frustrating.

Oh Gary I think I found a way around the pic posting issues.  I copied and pasted your post.  Did it work?  ;-)

And that looks just like my friend's Point Loma tree's figs.  Amazing flavor and color.  The Point Loma one in person has a dark violet interior.  Where are those brebas????

Thanks for helping with the photo, Jodi. Yes, those are the brebas. The main crop is not so purple, but still fabulous tasting. Both crops have been abundant.

Patience... spring is coming...
