Hi all:

Noticed some have Papa John on their wish list, so thought I'd share in case you're unable to find a source. Spoke recently with Jason down at Petals from the Past nursery (Jemison, Alabama). He has 1 gallon Papa John available ($10+shipping, I think). Noticed Jon and Bass didn't have this plant currently for sale at their sites, so hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here :) Just thought I'd pass the info along. BTW, It's not on their website, so you will need to email or call to place the order.

Rick

Hey Rick, isn't that place huge? I've never seen a nursery that large, ever! Papa John is an excellent black Greek fig! I talked to Blake last year. He told me Papa John, was his favorite. It is truly one the best. I plan on another trip there in March.

That place is a treat, and they've usually got really healthy stock. They're about 45 minutes south of me so I don't make it out too often. I think this year I'm going to map out the u-pick fruit seasons so I can go down for blackberry season at 'Petals' and do peach season in Clanton (just a little further south than Jemison on I-65). You know it's Peach Country when you see this from the highway (ha!)  http://birminghambusinessalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/peach.jpg
