Figaholics is closed for the season and will not offer cuttings again until next winter so the question of where to obtain PT cuttings is still a valid one. smithmal __________________ Malcolm - MD - Zone 6B Varieties growing (Received 2014): Beale, Col de Dame Blanc, Danny's Delight, Desert King, JH Adriatic, Lemon, Longue d'Aout, Marseilles Black VS, Olympian, Ronde de Bordeaux, Strawberry Verte, Vista, UCR-184-15s, Violette de Bordeaux, White King

My guess is he flew from Malaysia to Switzerland to get the cuttings. But could always ask him. I would cut it down too, if it caused people to trespass on my property and I had no idea why? __________________ (Zone 12a) Big Island, Hawaii, 2,400 ft elevation, Fern Forest. Avg.

I can't wait until next year - maybe year after that when PT starts to become easy to get. So many people have it now - it's only a matter of time before it's a relatively common fig. __________________ Blackberry & Fig Farmer in East Bay San Francisco - Sunol.

So many people have it now - it's only a matter of time before it's a relatively common fig. Me too. I appreciate the story of it's discovery and rise to attention, but ultimately what is of more interest is a. Can the taste be duplicated similarly in various US growing conditions and b. Is it accessible, without costing an arm and both legs? I hope the answer is yes to both because that vermillion pulp of the Ponte Tresa looks down right delicious. __________________ Dan, West Central FL 9a Wishlist- Great tasting dark or light figs with deep red interiors: White Madeira, Craven's Craving, Portugal Black Madeira, Sultani, Violeta, USDA Black Ischia, Dall'Osso, CdDB or CdDB-N
