Good Evening:
Again, It’s that time of year again where I need to trim the trees and send out cuttings for beginners wanting to build a unique collection.
Here is the list that I will send out this week. I started this late last week. Still trying to move the last 5 bundles.
Bebera Branca (spelling error on tag) Columbaro Nero De La Tira I376 D'en Roig Manyo Violette De Bordeaux Greek Church
I'm asking $30 plus $7.50 for shipping and handling (this is a lot of work ;). Private message me if interested for Paypal info. When they are spoken for, I will post it as so. Please include your shipping address in the private message. You must be in the continental US. When possible I try to supply 2 cuttings although I can’t guarantee that on each variety. Each cutting should have at least three nodes. I make no claims that my figs are FMV free. I haven't had one yet (except my Maltese Beauty) that doesn't show signs of it in some way shape or form. Upon receipt I recommend re-cleaning the cuttings and separating the varieties into their own bag with moist moss.
Thanks for your contribution and good luck rooting these. It’s a good assortment that should give you a lot of pleasure growing and tasting.
I’m including 1 extra variety. It will be a surprise. I'll Combine shipping with Bundle 2 & 3. I've just barely been able to squeeze them into 1 shipping bag.
Thanks. Dan

Dan excellent offers, very nice! If I didn't have so many I would take you up on the offer(s). I noticed this fall that many figs late in the year actually tasted exceptional. It seems I could let them hang forever without bugs or rot, so they ripened up really well. It's strange how well figs work in out area. I had fresh figs yesterday, the last of them, but almost December and I'm eating fresh figs in Michigan? Who would have thought that possible!

My spelling really is terrible. It should be Des Roig Manyo. Not D'en Roig Manyo. I apologize. And thanks to the member for pointing it out.

Yea, I was about to PM you about that, then I thought it must be another variety. Glad you figured out. Good work Dan

Just decided to use disposable aluminum pans. Will put a layer of potting soil, lay the cuttings on it, and then lightly cover with more potting soil. Thanks again for the great cuttings!

OK. I may have jumped in to the deep end here. I can't seem to find growing info on a lot of these fig varieties. Guess that's what happens when you are new, and jump in with both feet ;) Mainly need to know the temps they can survive. So I can tell if I need to put them in garage or even warmer area.

They're probably zone 7 I would guess, if not there would be posts about them in ground. The info is scarce on some because they are rare ;)

Agree with Mario and Devlsgro
In my opinion, if you're in zone 5/6, All figs are pretty similar in hardiness. In zone 5 you're going to need to bring them in or protect them somehow. I'm in zone 6 and do this also. I don't chance losing my plants to the cold.
Des Roig Manyo is a Spanish variety from Monserrat Pons. His book has recently been translated to English. Look for it soon on Amazon

Very organized storage solution. If I am successful with the cuttings I bought from you and others...one day my garage may look like this.

Well, I now have 24 cuttings in pans. Not sure what the heck I'll do with them if they all take. I'm always doing crazy stuff like that. I only have so much room in my garage. That set up in your garage is great!

So what is the lowest temperature I can store my trees for the winter? I'm thinking I can lay them down in my crawl space. Obviously it stays above freezing.

As far as I know 32-40 degrees F is optimal, but most can survive down to 20 degrees F.

In January and February it's not uncommon for my garage to get down to 22 F when it's below 0 degrees outside. I've gone out to check on them and the root ball is frozen. It stays frozen for 4-6 weeks. Never lost a plant in the garage. I've lost more figs stored in the basement because I forgot to water them.
