I have several at the 1 gal stage. They root very well from cuttings and are growing well. The donor tree is 12-15 yrs old and produces very well. This is a good fig for Northeast Texas. __________________ Thx, glad to be here Danny K "EL CAZADOR DE HIGO" Waskom Tx Zone 7B/8 Wish list: anything anyone wants me to have. LSU RED. Any LSU fig.

there are few different source for Ischia Green. i know there was one that one of the member from TX used to send out. i know that one is rather good. i had few cuttings and they all died. two i have left is from USDA/UCD. they grow poorly, but it seems not worse than some others this yr. it's only one with figs ripening right. wants to know if other who sourced from USDA/UCD is having any luck. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

I have 2 that was rooted from a broken limb of a tree from Home depot that was just labeled as "Ischia". I believe them to be Ischia Green. Won't know for sure for another year or two. But they are growing great! I'll be bringing one of them to the Fig Meeting in Marshall Texas. __________________ James - Irving, TX - Zone: 8a Follow me on EBay Wish List: 187-25 · Ice Crystal · Maltese Beauty · Maltese Falcon
