Bugs, I've got my fingers crossed. The Syrian fellow that gave me the cuttings said it was a good/sweet fig.

Bass,
 I got cuttings from a Syrian guy. He gave me cuttings from his home in Syria and he gave me these cuttings that he said were red and purple inside. He thought they were from Turkey.

Bugs, Were these anything like your Hardy Chicago?
