Hi guys, After moving to a place with a larger terrace, I am slowly starting to use the space to grow crop plants of the stuff I like. Having learned, that there are fig variants that can also survive harsh conditions, I am intrigued by the idea to also include them in my planting. As the Valle Negra seems to be the best combo of max.endurance, two fig periods and also tasty fruits, I'd like to try my luck with that kind of fig. The difficult question is: where to find one? I couldn't come up with any providers so far. A source in Europe would be idea considering that's where I'm based. I also have relatives in Italy who might be able to help me ordering there, but so far I also haven't found anything there. Does it carry a different name in Italy maybe? Thank you so much!

Hi and welcome to the forum. Valle Negra is a fig discovered in Italy, by Sergio, an italian fig expert. It may not be available in nurseries, just from gardeners who got this by exchanges... By a post of mnedelcu, Valle Negra could be similar with Napolitana Negra, which is widely grown commercially in Spain. __________________ Romania, Europe in zone 6, 47N

Hello, and welcom among us! I think what you are looking for is Valleycallda, aka nero600m. It was discovered by a very novel Italian man Sergio Carlini. A very good rain tolerant, and cold hardy fig. Valle Negra is an another fig, which was also found in Italy, but is more available in America than in Europe. Iif you are looking for Nero600m try to contact with Feigenbaum (Christian) he own this variety and he is also from Germany. A very helpful, and friendly guy. __________________ Kristian Location:Hungary,zone 6B Currently growing: Freckled Beauty, Saint Anthony, Saint Maritn, Martinete (Pérola), Armenian, White Marseilles, Ronde De Bordeaux, Hardy Chicago, Marseilles Vs Black, Gino's Black, Natailna, Sal's El, Laradek Ebt, Green Michurinska, Michurinska 10 , Vagabond, Negretta, Negronne, Orsara, Dalmatie, Laradek Ebt, Adriatic Jh, Improved Celeste, Kútfeji Black, Black Plate, Deszki mézédes

Hey guys, thank you for your replies! I had read, that the Neapolitana might be identical to the valle negra, but as it didn't seem to be a real fact, I decided to go for the real thing just to be safe. Would a cutting survive travelling to Europe from the U.S.? Then a source in the U.S. might be an option as well. The vallecallda is not what I'm looking for from what I'm reading as there seem to be differences. cheers

Jeeesus - for real? TO would have been understandable, but FROM as well??? Does this apply in reality? No cuttings exchange over continents?

Well, the question first would be anyways: IS there anyone with a valle negra that would be willing to part from some cuttings?

I might have an option for late fall from the U.S. If anyone is able to help me out earlier, that'd be great, summer is just about to start over here!

Figera, Not for certain what this fig is, but i suspect it is close to Valle Negra. Growing at Arena dei Chiostri di Santa Corona in Vicenza, Italy. How far is this from you? located at : __________________ -- Johnny Ft Leavenworth, KS (6A) Bastrop, TX (8B) Huffman, TX (9A) I don't know figs from Adam (™)
