This amazing tree was pruned and i have many cuttings to share. Did you see inside the car also!
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jul/08/food/la-fo-marketwatch-20110708 The tree is extremely prolific and they mainly ripen between August 15-31. " APRIL 3RD EDIT- RE SHIPPING/postage/ CARING FOR CUTTINGS UPON RECEIVING THEM: 1- With exceptions of a couple, all packages went out today! Huge task I had no idea how time consuming and overwelming this was - too many packages! ALL PROMISED TO ARRIVE ON 4/5. 2 -I charged over $180 in postage to my credit card, so I need you all to send me the amounts we agreed, if you need to confirm your amount, please send me PM, I'll review the Post Office's receipt. 3- WARNING: The cuttings have not been pre-washed, so please give them a good bath of dish soap with a little bleach to kill any insect eggs that may have survived the winter in Seattle. Do that in warm water, not to shock the cuttings. Trim a tiny bit from my cuts, if they arrive in 'dry' paper - should have some moist in. If they arrive dry, after washing, give them a chance to recover by soaking them in warm/tepid water for about 20 min before you put them in rooting chambers. Taking these steps does not garantee that they will root, but it will help keep any bugs that may had taken a ride with them. Wish good luck to you all. - STILL SOME AVAILABLE but they are about 3/4 to 1" - can send them in a $5.80 flat box |

Yes, the figs have taken over. Do not attempt to adjust your controls: You have none. |

Hey Grasa it's night time in your picture. Was it a hit and run? :) |

No.. not hit and run! Funny, huh? Actually quite challenging to get them. The house sits on a slop, soil is very wet and dark between houses to retrieve them. I made several trips down to the tree. My dear boss told me to come and get them asap. I could only go at night time. Cool thing it I got to also meet a Forum member Nichole, her husband and one of her stick muncher. She also got to meet the tree. |

Hello Grasa. I think you should put some on ebay or CL. To make some fig supply money. |

I know this has been a real pane for you. How are you looking to be paid for your postage. Sent you a PM today. Hope everything is ok with me getting a set of cuttings. Hope to learn from this big job for you and someday pass cutting on myself. |

Fourty eight packages of cuttings were sent out... Wouldn't be nice if most of them turn into trees? |

That's really very nice of you Grasa. Other than UCD, you are the next biggest sender of fig cuttings. Now that's quite an accomplishment. |

Some of you may have noticed the 'greening cover', yes, that is moss that grows on everything around here due to all the rain we get. you should give them a bath in soap w little bleach before putting them in sweat chambers to root - I don't think the moss is an issue, I root mine with it, but I wash them - there were too many cuttings to deal with here, so I did not do anything to them prior to sending, except I kept their main trunk in a bucket with water to hydrate them. |
