I was running errands this morning, and stopped at a nursery a little outside of my normal area. I was looking for a Uncle Corky's Delight tree for a fellow forum member. I had seen this variety there a couple of times earlier in the summer. Not this time though.

What I did find, most unexpectantly and happily, was a nice looking Panache Tiger fig tree (picture below). It was hidden away behind the nursery office building. They were sell it for half-off this late in the year. So, end up only paying $25 for this nice tree! It is very well rooted. We had to dig several pencil sized roots out of the ground to move the pot.

Also picked up a couple of Native Black trees for buy-one-get-one-free....

Talk about a nice find?!!! Wow! Nice!!

Great looking tree,good find!!!

Good to be lucky sometimes

Native black is becoming more available to find in the southern states. But panache good deal. Do you have any pics of your native black tree.

Native Black is fairly easy to find here, thanks to the Brazos Citrus wholesaler south of the city. I had planned to wait until new spring inventory to pick one up. But at a 2-for-1 sale, I couldn't say no today.

I can post pics. But they are kind of small (about 3ft). Plan to put them both in the same hole.

Hi,
Is that a pic of the Panaché ?
Can you post pics of the  top 1' of the stem after washing it with water ? You should have stripes there ... The stem seems to be a bit dark green for a Panaché. But could happen if the tree was in a shady spot .

Here's a picture of the stem that I took this morning before work. Looks like a real Panache to me. I have to admit that I didn't check before buying the tree. The nursery that it came from is pretty reliable, and I think they grew these trees themselves.

And before I forget. Here are the two Native Black trees Richie was asking about. A little worse for wear this time of year. But hey, they were only $20 for both. They should perk and start growing once I get them into the ground this fall. I plan to put them in the same hole.

Hi,
You have a Panaché :) . I couldn't see the stripes in the first pic. Thus my question.

Score!

I saw 2 of the fig you want in the LOWES in Cibolo yesterday. The LOWES right off the I-35. They were $32+ change there had added Honey fig onto label. If you call them- maybe they could hold them- or send from that store.
Best of luck

Awesome find!
