Hey guys and gals, over the past 2 days I've been hauling figs in the garage, shed and GH looking back on this year. I am still not done. This was not my best year for figs. My trees did not grow that much. But some of my giants did. Last winter really took a toll on my trees. They still produced but not like in previous years. Then came the rain!!!! Argh!! The only shiny thing that made me smile this year was, I made 2 trips to California. One to see JV and eat bananas from his trees. On the other trip, Jon and I met up at UC Davis and pigged out on figs for 2 days! We had a lot of fun! I haven't posted pics or the video yet, but I will. Looking at my garage trees, it looks like I may have more cuttings to give away from others already sent out this year. I'm making a list of what I have and instead of posting a list, I've decided to pay it forward. So please update your wish list. Every day, I will make a random search to see what folks are looking for. And if you have not already done so and turn on your PM. If you get a PM from me, then maybe I have something coming your way. It really depends on my trees. cheers! __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

I am new to growing figs (and new to this forum) and would love to get hold of a few cuttings. If you are interested in helping a new enthusiast in Wenatchee Washington get started I would much appreciate it. I would be happy to pay for cuttings, shipping, whatever, just excited to give it a try. __________________ Theo Wenatche WA, Zone 6 Wish List: Violette de Bordeaux, LSU Gold, Peters Honey, Col De Dame any, Vasilika Sika, MvsB

Heh, mine is a poor list, of course! __________________ Especially desired figs: UCD 187-25, UCD 200-48, UCD 157-17, UCD 309-B1, Princesa, Black Madeira, high quality sugar fig that ripens Sept-Oct.

Another new member and trying to figure out how it all works. I be been reading mainly older postings fo the past couple of years and wanted to thank you all for the awesome tips and info about figs and growing them. I have a couple of in ground trees that I got from the Home Depot in the spring of 2011 as brow turkey but I doubt they are. Medium size fruit light brownish with long neck redish very sweet interior very juicy and good production this past season, about 400 from both , that ripened within a week to or two. I asume them to be 6 years old at the most and very cold hardy. Southern brown maybe or some kind of celest. Plenty of cuttings to trade or just share .whish list , any green or white fig type like ADr JH. Lsu gold dalmatie or vasilika that I grew up eating. Thanks again guys and gals. __________________ ChrisK Atl GA Zone 7b-8a

Nice offer. As a first year grower, 1 more tree will put me at 14 varieties, which is a good point for me to stop at my experience level and see how I fare with them next season.

Hello Chris. No figs yet. I received 2 air layered trees (Chiapetta and a Greek Unk) a couple weeks ago that have 2 small figs already on them, but it's way too late for them to ripen now. So next season holds a lot of promise, pretty excited. =) Regards, bil __________________ Billy - Middle Tennessee Seeking: C'hiapetta, A'driatic JH, and S'mith maybe 2 cuttings or so of each.

I ll post some pics as soon as I figure out how. Peace. __________________ ChrisK Atl GA Zone 7b-8a
