Anyone have a Violette de Bordeaux tree that you are just in love with an wouldn't mind selling a few cuttings or trading this fall? We moved back in september and my trees had grown huge tap roots through the bottoms of their pots. My family wanted to surprise me that they moved the trees to the new house (roots were just annihilated, pots broken from the yanking and pulling).

Luckily my rarer trees came through ok, but my vdb trees, my first trees from cuttings that grew the most fruit and my son says "eat the purple figs" sadly didnt make it. Missing those deep purple black figs with the cute white freckles and beautiful brebas! Thanks so much for looking guys!

Let me know in the fall and I will send you VdB cuttings for just shipping cost. 

Raintree nursery still has VdB in stock and if you wait until Fall, Trees of Antiquity will have them also. ToA charges a little more but sends out large trees that fruit quickly.
Cuttings are nice if you don't mind them taking a few years to be plentiful, but getting a two or three year old tree speeds things up considerably. Many of the nurseries only send out first year, small, rooted cuttings which is why its a good idea to shop around and ask how big the tree is.
Dave Wilson also has VdB trees in their second leaf with four nurseries in Arizona carrying them, or can order them. http://www.davewilson.com/home-gardens/where-to-buy/retail-sources/Violette%20de%20Bordeaux%20Fig/VIODE/product-information/product/violette-de-bordeaux-fig/1///

If you really are missing it that badly, why wait?

Thanks for the tip Mara! Honestly, there is something about starting a new tree from cuttings in the middle of winter. I just love it. It is gardener therapy! That and I still have a few trees I'm potting up now...busy between garden, kids and figs!

I'd love to order a tree or two from Trees of Antiquity for next year, have you had a good experience with them?
