EDIT 12/13/14: Any new cutting requests are suspended until after the 1st of the year. Will have some fresh new cuttings at that time :) . I have a good number of Mario's fig cuttings available as well as some cuttings I took from my own trees. If anyone is interested, I'm asking $3 per cutting for all varieties listed below: Acciano Dottato Salce Troiano Calabrese Hardy Chicago I will have a few more varieties after the first of the new year. Should also have a few small trees available then. I desperately need to "thin the herd". Getting to be way too many trees to take care of on my own. More on that later though. I will try to add some links here that contain more info about some of the varieties listed. Here's one on Salce for starters: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/salce-fig-pictures-5947309?pid=1274441360#post1274441360 If you want some of the cuttings above, please email me with your wish list at: wildfruitnut@gmail.com I'll get back to you with a quote after shipping costs. __________________ Fig Well And Prosper!

BTW, thanks for offering cuttings again this year, Bill. Some of the tastiest figs I had last year were off of a 1st year Salce started from your cuttings. The fruit really had a unique flavor, sort of peachy imo, definitely a keeper. __________________ James, zone 6a Kansas (zone 10 greenhouses); wish list is in my profile http://www.FigCuttings.com

Hey James. Yes, unfortunately, it really looks like that Unk Pastilliere needs pollination. I watched it start nice looking figlets 3 years in a row. Every time they would just shrivel & fall off. So maybe only those in Cali will be interested in this one. __________________ Fig Well And Prosper! Bill - SW KY. Zone 6b. 36.5N I'm fruitnut on ebay.

Thanks Hershell. It's rare that the whole fam is off at the same time. So, yes. Gotta jump at the opportunity. Rest assured though everyone. I'll get right back to it on Friday. __________________ Fig Well And Prosper! Bill - SW KY. Zone 6b. 36.5N I'm fruitnut on ebay.
