I am going to be giving Extra trees away from my Cypriot collection.I have 5 trees from Pap hos, Cyprus! They were brought to Campabello, SC in 1974 by the Diacou family.I have 1 gallon trees from the in ground original mother trees.The varieties are Vazanata,Vardika,Unknown Strawberry,Unknown large black with red interior,unknown large black delicious(These are the names of the trees that Androulle Diacou gave me as she remembers her Father calling them).To qualify for the give away you must not have posted anything negative about James on his 7 dollar tree thread, if he loses we lose and we need to support him.I have bought a lot of trees from him and the best chance to get our trees is to counter the negativity with a big ball of light.Must live in USA, now pick a number between 1 and 30 and post it.Guaranteed April 15 2017 ship date. Figs4fun REMEMBER?!?! Attention! If numbers are duplicated the first one to post the winning number wins. The winning number is 7, the number of completion.Thank you for participating, I will set air layers this spring for anyone who wants to trade. __________________ South Carolina zone 7b

Wait a minute, I didn't post anything negative about James but I did post something on the sarcastic or semi-negative response to those trashing James. Do I still qualify? By the way, great move!

grant441 - this is a very nice thing that you are doing. Just wanted to say this even though I don't qualify. I did not order anything from James (since I don't live in the States otherwise I would have). I still was very much interested in reading about his operation and was very saddened by all the negative discussions. There are a lot of good people on this forum and I appreciate all that they do for us newbies. __________________ Angela (Southern Ontario zone 6a)
