Hello all,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm looking to build up my collection of figs here in the Cleveland Ohio area. I've started everything in clay terra cotta pots, which I plan to eventually up-pot to a 5 gallon size.

Recently went to Hirt's Gardens here in Medina and picked up:
-White Marseilles
-Latarulla
-Little Red Ruby
-Kadota
-Celeste

I'm of Greek descent. In fact we used to visit family back in Greece and I have some early memories of eating figs from my grandfather's tree in his backyard. I'd love to bring some cuttings back next time I'm there. In the meantime I'm looking to build up my collection to include some Greek varieties. I'd also be interested in:

-Nero 600m
-Italian 258
-LSU Purple

Willing to pay for shipping. Thanks!

A few notes. Bringing cuttings from overseas is illegal. Customs doesn't much care for people bringing in plant material from Europe due to potential spread of disease.

There are many great varieties available in the states including the ones you mentioned. Cutting season is well over by this point for 99% of cases unless someone has some older cuttings sitting in a fridge. At this point in the season you would mostly get air layers or full plants and those can get pricey especially for those varieties. If you wait until winter all of those should be available for purchase in cutting form. 

There are some figs growing in Little Italy and some of the burbs. It might be tough to find Greek figs, though.
