Hello Everyone i am new to this forum.  Last year I bought 2 fig trees and now I'm hooked I bought some cuttings off ebay. Some of them might be from this forum.  I'm currently rooting LEBANESE BLACK/PURPLE FIG TREE, Dark Portuguese, Negretta Fig.  I live in Oklahoma and they do well here.  Just wanted to say hi and i really enjoy reading the forum.

Thanks
Smitty

  Welcome aboard, Smitty...   The forum will be a great resource to help prevent you from buying misrepresented cuttings off of Ebay.  By querying the members here about the reliability of known Ebayers, it'll go far to reduce the sting of growing out a cultivar for months to years, and only then discovering that the cutting was not as stated.

A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. 
Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

I now have 31 fig tree cuttings that i have to start. :) looks like most of everyone that i bought was from this forum so i got lucky.i  Bought the LEBANESE BLACK/PURPLE from Nixgardens and they already have leaves after 2 weeks. Tahoma i should get yours today or tomorrow.  I started the rest in water and they grew roots i planted them last night in cups with some soil i bought from Lowes. Didn't know you couldn't buy any from Turkey they went thru customs and i got them in last night.  Don't know if i should mess with them or not.  I got these from Turkey

If you received cuttings from Turkey through eBay then be expecting a phone call or visit from USDA APHIS, it may take a few months but they do not miss an international sale on eBay. EBay gives all the information that USDA APHIS requests of them.
