Mystery fig cuttings "Final Call"

Update, I started taking cuttings today and also got photos of leaves.. photo 1 (1).JPG  photo 2 (2).JPG  photo 3.JPG 

So I'm a fig stalker and I know it.... so i haven't been keeping my eye out and have a few trees I have been watching. I had decided to wait till the tree were in fig so i'd have a chance to see what kind they are when I talked to the owner...
There was this nice really large one by and old barn and all of a sudden signs went up announcing a new development was going in where is farm was. I decided to contact the developer and he was very nice gave me the green light to take what I wanted from the tree....
I figured I'd give it a shot and offer cuttings to anyone that wanted to pay postage...
All I really know is it is unprotected and big.... might be a chance to try your rooting skills on a non rare tree.


You need to give it a provisional name so we can talk about it.

Red Barn fig, I'm waiting on them to run some squatters out of the barn the fig is next to. 

need "Unknown" in there somewhere.

Red Barn UNK, most likely Red Barn Brown Turkey.... but the farm's original owners are gone....

maybe it will turn out to be something interesting.

Can never pass up a chance with a story behind it.
Count me in send me a pm when you know the postage and we will square up thank you for offering this to the fig community.

PS.
RBF unk ?
Sounds like a winner to me.

I like it!! RBF unk is it!!!

Nice im glad I could help.

That's awesome, you're saving this trees legacy. 

Please count me in for some as well! Maybe we'll get lucky and it's an heirloom celeste :)

I doubt a farm would have kept it this long if it didn't

There's only one way to find out...we root it and hope for the best.

I'd love to start a mystery fig.  WHen willyou be able to take and send cuttings?    How do you want to be paid for shipping.  Pay Pal work?  Please email me your email address for that and amount.  Thanks
Its exciting to experiment.

I am still waiting for the squatters to be removed, I will post as soon as I know when. Also go ahead and send me your mailing address if you are interested along with First and Last name... thanks!!

For the name, put UNK in front so it will sort wiht the other UNK when it makes it to Jons database?

Good idea will do



Update talked to the land owner today, they are working to get the squatters out and not to worry i will be able to get to the tree, turns out he is a fig lover and says I can take as much as I want once it is safe..

YAY!!!!!

NICE!!!!!!

I can see that you already have plenty of interest but if you can get enough I would love to pay postage for a few cuttings. Thanks:)
It's so cool that y'all have fig trees like these in your areas, I have never seen any fig trees 'round here.

Hi I would like some cutting, sounds interesting.Rex

I have the cutting I got today, I will clean and get them ready for shipping, I will start sending them out this week..

I can't find messages from all the people I got addresses from so here is who I mailed out to that I can't find the email from, Byon, Mary, Lulu, and Vito, the shipping was $3
If there is anyone else that would like cutting let me know.
