Gordenia, How can you tell who is bidding on the auction?

Hello,

Gordenia, did you see who won the Tauro fig tree?

Yes, but let him tell us, if he will...............

Hello, Gordenia I received my Tauro fig tree today. I was not sure if anyone was actually capable of seeing what others purchase. I believe only the seller can actually see who is bidding on their items. if someone clicks on bidders list, buyers names are actually hidden. For a second I thought you were the one selling Dall' Osso and Tauro fig. Here are some photos of my Tauro Fig Tree.

	Subject: How many weeks for cuttings to root	Replies: 23
	Posted By: Gardencrochet	Views: 926

You have to factor in many variables. One of the most important factors is the health of the mother plant. I've seen some of my cuttings root as fast as one week. This is taking in consideration that I took the cuttings from a healthy dormant plant. As grow media I used 50% Peat 50% Perlite under a heat mat. This was done around mid November. Cuttings planted within 48 hours of being taken from the mother plant.

Another example using the same method from cuttings I purchased on ebay. I have no clue how long the cuttings where stored or refrigerated. After three months of waiting I was ready to give up on them. Then out of nowhere roots starting to give way. So hence, patience is a virtue. Don't give up because variables, experience all play a major role.

The one Bass has I believe it is the same one as the Belleclare. The reason I mention Malta Black - Belleclare is because there seems to be a confusion between Malta and Malta Black - Belleclare. Malta is the same fig as Celeste. Although Malta Black - Belleclare is also related to Malta (Celeste) it actually contains different genes.

Hello Katerina941, it's a pleasure to meet you. Thank very much for taking the time to give me positive feedback. As amazing as it may seem I literally bought my home to accommodate my fig collection. The first thought that came to me when I bid to purchase my property I live in was finding a home for my figs. As if having 50 fig trees already was not enough! This began a never ending journey into the fig collecting world. Expenses? Well you can never really have enough of those. There is always something else that you need in order to successfully grow your fig trees. Wait, your not even done transplanting your 5, 10, or even 25 gallon trees. Yet you are ordering more fig cuttings to add to your collection. Next thing you realize not all figs are made with equal genetics. Some just grow others are just picky to so many factors. Hmmmm. That doesn't matter you want that variety. You'll baby it!!!! Pay $260 dollars for those cuttings!!! Feed it with a 24K golden spoon if need be. Control the temperature inside a greenhouse just to give it 5 star room service . Ahhhh! Just to enjoy a little sweet fig!! You take a bite into that special fig fruit.... And say! Boy, that was well worth it! Lol!!! So I know exactly what you are going through. You have a gorgeous garden! Teaching your kids is just priceless. My respects to you for giving them such wonderful knowledge. Btw, I recently purchased the Jolly Tiger from you. Thank you so much for offering it. It's really a great pleasure to share this passion for fig trees with you. In regards to the issues you were having uploading your photos. Try setting your camera settings to 640 X 480. Or modifying your images with an external application that let's you re-size them to Web ready size. I will reply to your other question later today in a PM. It's going to be 4am. Woke up for a glass of water when I seen your messages. Take good care!

Seeing reality your way does not necessarily imply others are being deceptive. Assuming or insinuating any other factors is just simply irrational. I have not denied anyone any information. I collect fig trees, that is why I am offering cuttings to others. An opportunity to share with others a different varieties that they might not have in their collection. It's not all about you. The funniest part is that I have not done any transactions with you. You bid on my .99 cent auction. Yet after someone else outbids you, you contact me to complaint? As if I owe you anything? Then you come to f4f giving your version of how things should be? Trying so hard to tarnish my reputation. SMH, No comradery on your end. Well do not forget what goes around comes around..... Good luck to you... Sorry you couldn't win that auction..Not my fault it didn't sell for $2.00.... Also those stanford fig cuttings you kept complaining about...They were gifts!!!.... I did not sell them to you or anyone else! Do not forget, You contacted me first. So I'm pretty much done with your childish deceitful misinterpretation of things.

We are all learning here, The fact that I am telling others to research before purchasing cuttings is nothing personal against you. Also remember the fig cuttings that I sent out were gifts. Not even the member that received it complaint to me. Yet you took it upon yourself to contact me with a PM to complain. You told me the fig I sent out as a GIFT was useless to the receiver. You even went as far as saying I was being deceitful. You consider that great offense? I personally can do without all that animosity on your behalf. You forget this forum has plenty of members with vast knowledge including plenty of resources.

If you could kindly share your source of this information Gramaley?

From what I see this is what Bass had to say about this.

Bass
I see... Ripening with out the presence of any wasps this time of year indicates its a common type.
What makes this fig MAD

http://figs4fun.com/Thumbnail_Encanto_Red.html

ENCANTO RED
SYN: BMAD005
DESCRIPTION
A seedling from the 2005 season at Encanto Farms, San Diego, CA, presumed to have Black Madeira as one parent. May possibly be a Smyrna type, based on fruit drop in early portion of the season, and their persistence in the latter part of the season.

BLACK MADEIRA
DESCRIPTION
Perhaps the best tasting fig that exists. Needs more heat and a longer season than most. Ripens, but lacks flavor and sweetness after first cold weather. Splitting is a problem in some years: usually the same years that Panachee has a splitting problem.

pitangadiego

This is a seedling from 2006 or 2007? Mad005 became Encanto Red. This one, Mad002, will get a new name. Maybe Fico Pesca d'Oro.

This was picked today (and others over the last few weeks). These were from a growth and fruit flush that began in August, and are ripening now. It has a distinctly "peachy" taste, and texture a little bit reminiscent of Shtawi, which ripens around Christmas. Can't imagine how good it would be if ripened in the summer.

Hello everyone.... So nice of you to share my listings here on figsforfun. I've been collecting figs for about six years now. I've got them from reliable sources. Such as encanto farms and members from here. You are welcome to review my ratings on ebay. I hope that give you a sense of security. From my experience growing fig cuttings is a very rewarding task. I know how much effort it takes to do his. Therefore I wouldn't waste anyone's time offering anything that is not true to their variety. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you
