Thanks to our Canadian Fig King Adriano, he made today a HAPPY DAY. Adriano has over the past years asked what I would like from his collection and today he call to encourage me to take a look at his website and pick variants I would like .... This is our 2nd chat this year and I appreciate his kind thoughts. I have the weekend to study his variants and this time I am going to take up his kind thoughts. Its a happy day. Thanks Adriano. Suggestions welcome on variants that I should trial.

He lists several that I'd love to try. Ariane, Castanhal, Carne Docella, Genovese Bianco, and Reina de Malaga. Good for you, Paully! __________________ Gary in CA 9A Seeking: Bebera Branca*, Colonel Littman's Cross

My congrats for the offer! Good old fig-friend Adriano has a very nice fig collection. In the past, I've done some fig twig trading with him. Enjoy. __________________ George, NJ_z7a.

Congratulations! I have checked out his website and was not aware that he sells fig trees/plants/cuttings. His website contains tons of information on fig varieties and it's my go to bible. __________________ Bill Ottawa, Canada, Zone 5 (USDA Zone 4)

Congratulations Paully. Adrianos site is filled with wonder. I have always been curious of the Capelas fig. From his description it might do well for you in CA
