Hi, now in my 4th or fifth year of growing figs and been very lucky rooting, growing and harvesting delicious sweet figs here on Long Island. I have a great collection of nice more common varieties mostly in pots and overwintered in garage. Considering the amount of work and care required, I would like to own and nurture some more rare varieties like Figo Preto, Black Madiera or I 258 or any other suggested great varieties which I would keep in pots and greenhouse in spring to extend the growing season here in zone 7. Just looking for some outstanding varieties to add to my collection.

Would someone have cuttings for sale or suggest a very reputable source for these cuttings? I am just not that comfortable paying large sums for premium varieties on ebay unless I know the variety is true. Thanks all.

Hi!

The F4F search function is the best way to find info on reputable sellers.  Just use "good sellers" or "reputable sellers" as your search term.  Also, use "scam" or similar terms to find those sellers you should avoid.  Good luck!

Socorrow Black, I believe, is exceptional as what you have listed.

It is available at figaholics.com for $7.50 each. Many others too, but the Socorrow is special.

If you send me your email I'll send you my cuttings list.
I grow 250+ varieties (I only sell what I grow and have harvested very good figs from).
I certainly have those you listed. If it isn't on my list I may still have it as I don't harvest everything every year.

I also sell 1  gallon trees for $25. I sell a fair amount of them locally - ex. I have sold over 700 trees just in N. Virginia alone in the last 4 or 5 years.

I am in rockaway and can help you with the first two. Looking for cuttings of paw paw jujube or persimmon.
