COULD NOT have done it without all the very generous people apart of our community. I feel very lucky to be apart of something so awesome, and you have no idea how excited I am to be tasting some of these varieties this summer. Here's how I did it, and the people I want to thank:http://mountainfigs.net/availability/ http://www.ebay.com/usr/drivewayfarmer?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754 http://www.figaholics.com/cuttings.htm http://www.ebay.com/usr/gto171?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754 https://www.facebook.com/offthebeatenpathnurseries http://www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-home http://www.figcuttings.com/p/fig-trees-for-sale.html http://www.ebay.com/usr/rfactor12?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2754 http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/my-3-cup-method-revised-7834836?highlight=cup+method&pid=1290292111

Holy crap-ola Ross! You sure did acquire some great varieties and spoke volumes about the the community members here! I too have been the recipient of much generosity on this forum and been taken aback by it! Isn't it something? It really inspires me in so many ways. I find myself chomping at the bit to be able to pay this kindness forward and I'd like to join in when you do your plant giveaway this summer :) Right now I've got over 30 new varieties rooted (about 54 plants) scattered about my house lol and many more presently napping and awaiting a burst of roots, which is up a great deal from the 4 I started out with earlier this past summer. So I am sure I will be able to at least make a few members here smile too by sending something.

Oh my gosh Ross we have such a similar story. I am just running a little slow behind you, I have gone from 5 to 57 variations of figgy bliss since November. Like you I am still dumbfounded that there is so much plain old fashioned neighbors talking and sharing over the garden fence here. I feel so blessed. Under the watchful eye of the members, which you so kindly mentioned, I have braved into the world of figs, cuttings and trading! Yowza! I survived fear of what to do with cuttings, fear of actually posting on a forum, mold, gnats, and the "what are you doing with all those sticks?" comments from family and friends. And I am having such a grand time. Best winter waiting for spring I have spent in years. Every day I wake up to look at the newest lil leaves that improbable shade of new life "green". I echo your sentiments that there are so many generous people, attentive mentors and just plain interesting fig nuts, my self included, here, that it make for a hoot of a good time. Looking forward to spring and more fig stories, Jodi
In the book the "The Meaning of Trees" it is said the fig regulates the heart and that the true essence of Figs is...food for the soul. Daisy's IBT cuttings will be available in January/February along with a few Lampeira Parda.

A question what is your assessment of taste of Strawberry Verte an Adriatic JH. I want to try and keep mine down to about 8 different kinds. Right now I have a LSU Gold in ground, LSU Hollier rooting, EBT rooting, Ronde De B, MBVS rooting. So thinking Adriatic JH and Strawberry Verte might round me out unless there is some other must have out there. Any ideas appreciated.

SV & JHA are very similar. You only need one of those. Definitely a good addition to those you already have.
