Marylane Seedless - two crops, the second is late for me. Very tasty. Verdone - large, late, ruby flesh, very sweet.--- GONE --- Atreano - large, delicious, not very productive yet, but well worth it. White Triana - I have not tasted this variety yet. ---- GONE --- JH Adriatic - delicious , a must have. ---GONE--- BT - I know, I know...hey, use them for practice. Improved Celeste - dropped all its fruit two years in a row. Black Mission - tasted one this year. A special variety. Chicago Hardy - fast grower, small fruit, very sweet. Peter's Honey - two crops, but I like the Breba much more. St. Anthony - large brown fig. Pretty good. ---GONE---- Yellow Magnolia - hasn't ripened for me, but I can tell the fruit is massive! Marseilles Black - very prolific, over 50 fruits ripened fully in its 2nd year. Another must-have in my climate. These will go for a dollar a cutting, 4 cutting minimum to help break even on shipping. Please PM me, PayPal preferred. Most of these varieties came from Almost Eden, some are from trades. If I'm ruining anybody's plan to sell any of these varieties here or on eBay, I apologize. If anyone who I'm trading with this year is interested in any of these, please let me know.
