Maybe we can convince them it would be good to sell more of them. Who would want some very small, young Indigocrisps if they were available? How many would you want?

Just Fruits and Exotics was selling them earlier this year starting in Sept, sold out quickly, and appear to never have gotten more. Here is the link to that thread: http://www.ourfigs.com/forum/blueber...crisps-at-jf-e
I was lucky to get one from an independent source but would like a few more if possible, so if the skies miraculously open, I'll add my name to the IC waiting list.

You'd probably have a better chance to get them, and for a better price than a nursery such as Raintree reselling them (assuming RT could get around the agreement against reselling them).

The nurseries are having a VERY hard time replicating the IC's. They generally get 90% strike rate on SHB BB and on indigos under 20% last I heard....so they are in short supply. Legally nobody can sell, trade or even give away IC unless they are a university licensed propagator and each customer has to sign a non prop agreement.....that is why Just fruits stopped as they had the university drop on them like a hammer, they also came down hard on the supplier who sold Just fruits the plants in the first place.
That said I have been looking for 12 more (want a second row of them) so I am in, I have found it very difficult to get more IC. I was told May and then was pushed back to October.Cutting sales will start Tuesday Nov 1 at 9:00 eastern

I wasn't impressed with mine this yr. Berries weren't in the same league with Sweetcrisp. Now my plants have some sort of leaf issue, possibly fungal. And this in a greenhouse with low humidity and no water on the leaves. I'd post a picture but my files are always too big for this site and I don't know how to downsize.Alpine, Texas 4500ft elevation Zone 7

My Indigocrisp have a serious leaf issue not caused by rain or humidity. No other variety has ever shown anything like this and that's probably 30 varieties.

Two of my newish springhighs were showing significant leaf problems - all bumpy/distorted. Similar to aphid damage, but there were no aphids. They were adjacent to each other. Another springhigh some distance away was fine. I decided to destroy those two plants lest it be something contagious. I cut them off at the base. I wasn't that fond of them anyway. I suppose I could see if they grow back healthy.
My indigo crisp has a few fruits on it. It's leaves all appear to be healthy and the plant is growing well.
