Which 3 varieties would you choose to make a grafted 3 in 1 tree. I'd like 1 early, 1 mid, 1 late, with different flavors. Rainy zone 10 conditions. I'll probably use Celeste or LSU Purple for the roots. Thanks. __________________ Central Florida Zone 10

Ronde de Bordeaux or Marseillies VSB for early (Desert King for even earlier), A Col de Dame or Black Madeira for late. If you want a light fig in there you could go with Battaglia Green or JH Adriatic. There are lots of other good choices. Hardy Chicago, Florea , Flanders, Maryland Berry and on & on. You could leave them on their own roots and pleach them, too. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

I would start in Baton Rouge at the Ag Center and make my selections. That was the whole deal with Dr. O'Rourke, produce figs for you and your neighbors. LSU Hollier, LSU Gold, LSU O'Rourke would be my first tree. My second tree would be English Brown Turkey, Ischia Green, Kadota. __________________ 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.

If mine it would be Black Madeira/Hardy Chicago and a white fig but only to mix the colors and certainly not for taste. It ain't happening. ; )
