Very interested in this "hard to get" variety. The only online vendor I've found so far is Raintree Nursery and they are sold out until a fall shipping. Raintree isn't accepting orders until July and then they wouldn't be shipping until October which for me is too late to get into the ground (I'm zone 6B).
Varieties growing (Received 2014): Beale, Col de Dame Blanc, Danny's Delight, Desert King, JH Adriatic, Lemon , Longue d'Aout, Marseilles Black VS, Olympian, Ronde de Bordeaux, Strawberry Verte, Vista, UCR-184-15s, Violette de Bordeaux, White King

Raintree cancelled my order when I tried to order last year. They accepted my order in the fall and waited until almost spring to cancel on me which got me pretty angry. Needless to say they won't be getting any of my business again.

Smithmal, you should probably plan to just order one for fall anyway. I've got a small Nordland (just rooted, obtained from a generous member who gave me a cutting). And I don't mind sharing cuttings once it's big enough to have any. (It may be big enough by this fall, but more likely it'll be another year before it's big enough). You'd probably find other members on here who feel the same way. But here's the thing: First, anyone willing to make those cuttings probably can't make them until the fall anyway. Second, I don't think you should plan to put a first year cutting tree in-ground in Maryland anyway. I mean, you could if you really want to do extreme protection for it. But if you seriously want a Nordland in ground in Maryland, you'd be best off keeping it potted until it has some maturity to it. It's easier to protect it while it's young (you can move the pot). Young trees (younger than 3 or 4 years) are more susceptible to winter kill than more mature trees. So if you're in it for the long haul for in ground trees anyway, what's the harm in letting them get some size and maturity before you put them in ground? That'd be my advice anyway. Not saying you can't put them in-ground younger, but I think your odds of success go up if you don't rush it.
Pauca sed matura.

I have both side by side and will do a comparison. jdsfrance, you are correct in suggesting they may be the same variety. There are some slight differences in the leaf pattern which may make them different. I am curious to know myself, to compare the fruit. This year, my Nordland has about 12 figs on it. My Longue D'Aout is one of my best trees. Heavy producer of large, solid, rich tasting figs. The brebas are not much to speak of but the main crop is excellent.

I decided not to get Longue D'Aout after reading somewhere that it might be the same as Calabrese Long.

I visualized both Nordland and Longue D'Aout trees in front of me then I sent Reike Energy to check similarities and differences. I sensed and I got the energy return saying that both trees are the same. So Herman is correct. Thanks for sharing. Best, Tam

Malcome, have you looked on Craig's list in your area? I know there's a seller who has both varieties.

Hi! Everyone, I scanned the energy fields of both Nordland and Longue D'Aout trees the second time. They still have the same energies. However, on the third time, I attuned more deeper in their energy fields and I noticed that Nordland has a slightly different vibration in its energy field. Later, I found out that Nordland is the sport of Longue D'Aout and Nordland has about 10% more better taste than Longue D'Aout . Currently, I do not have Nordland yet but I would like to choose Nordland over Longue D'Aout . Thanks for watching.

I had both the Nordland and LDA but gave them both away to a friend.

Greenfig: On post No. 16, I did not detect any similar energy when I first scanned the energy fields of both of them, so I thought that they were not genetically related. However, when I attuned more deeper into the energy fields of both Longue D'Aout an Niagara Black and I found out that they were related in the third generation. Both of them had the same grandmother in the third generation and their mothers were sisters i n the second generation. So on the third generation, both of them are cousins. Thanks for watching.

When scanning the energy fields of a fig tree, I mentally ask the tree for permission to spiritually make contact with its consciousness. Then I am merging my consciousness with the consciousness of that tree. The subtle energy is their natural language. The more I make contact with them, the more my understanding of their language grows. This is similar to practice math problems. The more I practice math problems, the more knowledge and understanding I learn about them. I am not the only one who can understand the language of the trees, but all human beings have this special and natural skill hidden inside them waiting to unlock. Before you can do this, you first have to raise your energy vibration or spiritual frequency. Raising your vibration has the benefit of increasing your awareness and your connection to the environment around you. Meditation is the fastest way to raise your vibration. Your mind will become extremely powerful when you achieve a peaceful calm state of mind. Thanks for sharing.

Your tree will recover and grow much faster when there is a loving environment around it. Thanks for understanding sharing. Best, Tam

I have both LD'A and Nordland and they seem different to me. My Nordland is young and producing figs for the first time this year so I'm not going to post an opinion other to say -- so far they seem different. Will decide next year.

There is Nordland Bergfeige blau and Nordland Bergfeige grün but in america we have a fig just called Norland. So who's got what? I have talked to a collector in Switzerland with both and I can tell you Nordland Bergfeige grün was shipped to the west coast by this person about 10 years ago. To whom I don't know but chances are it's the one being passed around thats looks different then Longue D'Aout.
