Greetings everyone,
I have contacted the person that offered the fig cuttings, and he still has some. I do not know how many he still has, but I am willing to go there and pick some up over this weekend to send to our fellow forum members for postage (except for you Jim ;-) ). At this stage, if you could reply in this thread to let me know if you are interested or not, that would be great. Once I gauge the interest, I will get the appropriate number of clippings this weekend. At that point I will post a message to the board with my contact info. Regarding the fig, the owner states that he does not know what cultivar the figs are, but that they come from cuttings that his father in law got from his mother's tree in South Philly more than 15 years ago. Apparently, the tree is somewhat hardy, as it has grown to almost as tall as his house, here in SE Pa. He describes the figs as prolific, dark purple-brown and 1.5-3 inches in size. Hope this is helpful.
Rich
