Happily there is a multitude of fig cutting offerings on F4F for Americans. To try and reach the other grow fig lovers this offer is for Canadians and those in countries that allow importing fig cuttings from Canada. 3 cuttings of Ciccio Nero for shipping cost only. Post here or send me PM for details. Ciccio Nero has been my best performing in ground Zone 6 fig for over 50 years. It is still in my top 10 figs for taste and I have many producing fig cultivars all taste profiles. Ciccio Nero also roots readily and is easy to grow in containers and usually produces figs in 2nd year. Taste is rich dark berry, super sweet when fully ripe. Will dry on tree if left on. Some links of Ciccio Nero with photos and more descriptions. http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/another-fig-story-6712794?pid=1281138487 http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/ciccio-nero-ripening-nicely-7086723?pid=1284568366 http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/ciccio-nero-2015-7738698?pid=1289403339 http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/another-late-harvest-fig-plate-8259722?&trail=50 __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

You definitely have some very attractive varieties listed in your site for sale, Pino... Wish they were also available to us.... Anyone in the states have the Ciccio Nero that can provide cuttings for sale? __________________ Tony S - Zone 6A Carmel, NY WL-Ischia Black (UCD/USDA), Martinenca, Calderona, Victoria, Craven's Craving, Colonel Littman's Black Cross, Bon Jesusa, Sant Martina, Princesa, Paretjal Negra

Don Ciccio would have been very happy see that there will be many more people in Canada growing his great cool climate fig! This fig has a tight closed eye and never splits so also a great fig for hot climates or places where there is a lot of rain during ripening. It is a big producer (everbearing), delicious dark berry taste and super sweet when ripe. To spread the love of figs I am extending this offer to 2017 to ALL condition; Please only if your country allows importing fig cuttings from Canada. 3 cuttings of Ciccio Nero for shipping cost only. Send me PM for details. Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays! __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Thanks Pino for all the great photos that you recently put up on your website!!!! Now when I am researching a fig I can go to your site to see what the fig looks like - both the outside and the inside. Really valuable information for me and I think for everyone else too. Now the only thing that is missing (only from my point of you) is what the leaf looks like (I know I am making work for you). This would be useful if I am trying to identify a fig. Just a thought. Angela p.s. looking forward to getting my cuttings soon __________________ Angela (Southern Ontario zone 6a)

Angela p.s. looking forward to getting my cuttings soon Thanks for the kind words Angela! I will take your advise and add more leaf photos. Also many of the varieties I have posted on F4F forum complete with leaves see my topics. Merry Christmas p.s. mailed out Friday and 2 people already received theirs!
