This is ROB'S Genovese Nero.  Huge fig.  I have a 2 year old tree in a 5 gallon SIP and it grew like a weed this year.  Consistently put out figs all summer.  I give it a final score of 7.5 after the 12 or so I ate this year.  I've heard it will get better with age.  The first two to request a pack in this thread will receive 4 cuttings, completely free.  US address only.  They will ship by the end of the week.  Happy New Year!

If the Denver Broncos didn't cause tonight's game to go into OT, I might have had a shot at this.

Peter,

I don't think this is Sal's C.  The size difference is very evident.

Great of you to make this offer, Frank. As I've stated before, I liked the brebas more than the main crop. Since your tree can't offer any more cuttings, I'll offer 3 more packs, to the first 3 to pm me. 3 only, as I want to save enough wood to get a breba crop. Who's in?

rcantor,

They don't need to fail their drug tests - just have Steve Harvey read the names of the winners.
