I could try to order or buy cuttings, but I would like to buy the whole tree if I can, without babying a cutting into a tree for the next three years. I have seen fig trees for sale at nurseries and places like Whole Foods but they are all things like Black Mission or Black Italian, Texas Everbearing. I actually have a bunch of mystery figs, I think Brown Turkey or Celeste, or Texas Everbearing, that I grew from cuttings I took from a neighbor's fig, but the figs are usually dry and not very good. I think I am probably going to end up getting a cutting from somewhere, but I don't really know where the best place to get them is, either. It's not really the right time for cuttings so if I go that route I will plan for it in the fall, but until then I thought I would ask here, to see if anyone knows where to find one.

You can google "Dave Wilson Fruit Trees" I ordered a Panachee from a retailer over the winter. I pretty much did my best to kill it. It may survive but no thanks to me. __________________ https://www.facebook.com/From-The-Ground-Up-403313193085649/

Keep your eye on eBay. I bought a panache tree in a 1 gal container last year. __________________ Phil - Zone 7A - Newark, DE Newbie fig lover just trying to learn.

Hi, Why don't you try the Rimada ? Rimada is said to be bifere - when Panache is unifere . I know I know ... I went for a Panache, since Rimada was not available in the nurseries here ... __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

I have never seen this variety for sale in Austin. Online is your best bet, I would check Encanto Farms first. __________________ Don (Near Austin, TX zone 8b) If you have these for sale/trade PM me: Zingarella, Grantham's Royal, Calderona, Genovese Nero, Noir de Barbentane

A few years ago, there was an outfit named "Sol Nursery" selling fig trees among other plants/trees at an outdoor market on Burnett about a mile or two south of 183. They carried Panache. They would advertise their sales on Craigslist. __________________ In containers - Littleton, CO (zone 5b) In ground - N.E of Austin, TX (zone 8b) 2016 Wish List: Dārk Pōrtuguese, Grānthāms Royāl, Lātarolla, Negrettā, Nōire de Bārbentāne, Rockāway Green, Viōlet Sepōr, Viōlette Dāuphine.
