The NEXT Greatest Fig EVER!!!!

[Fygmalion]

In search of the next greatest fig EVER.... I am going to send a request to 77Peony, Robrod815, Dausername1 and Korina77-2008, all of whom have many active ebay auctions going on right now, asking if they have any really rare and highly desirable fig varieties for sale at a great price so I can get in on the ground floor for the next greatest ever fig...

Any recommendations for what I should ask for?

[Schroeder]

My money refunded please 🌰✌👷

[Fygmalion]

hahaha... having visited that particular situation myself, you have my sympathies....

[Tonycm]

Ask for the true bicolored Dall'Osso or the Luv fig.
See if they have cuttings from a tree that is hardy down to -35F with figs the size of cantaloupes and sweeter than pure sugar.
Put me down for 3 of each. I'll give them the deed to my house for payment.

[Fygmalion]

I LUV your suggestions, Tony!

[cjccmc]

throw in the pink slip to your car and it's a deal

[Levar]

I heard "Fico del mongibello alla vesuviana della santa maria del san francesco di assisi in puglia turco" has a nice, tight eye! And a flavor that packs the wallop of a meteor hitting earth at 10^2400000 miles/millisecond.

[Fygmalion]

Nice ring to the name.... That flavor sounds downright cataclysmic!

[Levar]

flavor so good it'll take years off your life!

[arachyd]

I actually got one of these from 77peony77. It was the very last one so I got a real deal on the cutting at $75. He/she said I can make a fortune because it grows so fast I can sell at least 45 cuttings from it the first year it leafs out.

[Backyard_Fig]

Chupacabra fig. It's a vigorous grower

[Fygmalion]

Is the rumored flavor profile for that fig true? I heard it said it tastes like sweet and sour goat....

[Backyard_Fig]

Lol!!

[cjccmc]

Fico Valentino!

A dozen of these will make your spouse as fig crazy as you are.

[Fygmalion]

Super! I assume that it is a red fig with a beautiful deep reddish, berry center?

[KyFigs]

I so thoroughly enjoy the creativity and the "tongue-in-cheekiness" of this group! You all are the best!

[strudeldog]

Like I said in the other thread and I quote myself "I have the next big fig. I am the only one that has it. I am not talking about it and I am not sharing it." And yes it is guarded by Bears. I doubt I could ever be bribed.

[GregMartin]

No torturing Phil, he got enough of that on 2/5 (is this too soon).....

Phil, Bribe #1: I shall never speak of 2/5 again for one cutting of the fig who's name shall not be spoken....and I shall never speak of it's transfer to my mailbox! (what transfer?)

[jkuo]

We need to be careful with the Gatekeeper, lest he unite with the Keymaster and unleash figgy havoc into the world.

[Fygmalion]

Lol.... Who are we going to call? Fig Busters!

[GregMartin]

The rarest fig cutting ever offered from 77Peony, Robrod815, Dausername1 and Korina77-2008 is one that is rumored to be able to grow roots and shoots!!! Thus far I have been unable to obtain this cutting.

[strudeldog]

You can like comments I just did on your "I wish we could "like" comments! " comment

[Fygmalion]

lol... let's kick the badger and see how it responds.... I like it... I suspect our buddy "pofigist" on F4F will recognize the inquiry as coming from me since I try and poke her in the eye every once in a while just to show her we are paying attention.... :-)

[Fygmalion]

Lol.... if you forum members should hear that I suddenly died from Polonium-210 poisoning, you'll know that the badger kicked back.... :-)

[haslamhulme]

How about Inzhir Moshennika(if they react to that you know they understand),very common variety on eBay,frequently mislabelled,very lucrative for the seller and very difficult to root(you need to use voodoo or be a necromancer)

[Fygmalion]

THAT would be a riot!

[lilfiggy]

Ask them if they have my super rare Magenta Crayola honey fig.

[Dave]

This may be the next hot fig someone started talking about it on the fun site and it is taking off like wild fire http://www.ebay.com/itm/Awesome-Wild...UAAOSwo4pYhmeD

[Fygmalion]

Isn't this Ice Crystal aka the Afghanistanica fig or a near relative

[GregMartin]

Tony, it's not the cultivar 'Ice Crystal', but it is a seedling of a Persian wild fig, which to me reads as it's a F. afghanistanica specimen. The wild mountain figs I've grown from seed so far seem to be consistent with F. afghanistanica, though hybrids with carica are always a possibility.

[Fygmalion]

Interesting leaves for sure...

[Evelynisgro]

My Lg. Vignes Purple Bardonnex UNK may just be the fig, if it doesnt turn out to be Violette Dauphine in side by side trials this season. That fig was spectacular, well the corner that was dead ripe on the overripened fig was anyway I couldn't fit three figs in one hand...it was a beauty for sure.

[Fygmalion]

Sounds like a great fig for sure...

[Evelynisgro]

Yup, I think about a dozen trees are going out this spring so it will definitely become common pretty quickly screw eBay

[Fruitsforlife]

Ask for "Golden Goddess-10" LOL..

[GregMartin]

If it's not released to others then it doesn't exist...functionally it's equivalent

[Evelynisgro]

If a man yells in the forest and his wife doesn't hear him, is he still wrong ?? Hahaha

[Fygmalion]

Devin... Jefferson wrote in the DOI ... : We hold these truths to be self evident....

[Italianstallon99]

I have been asking for photos for months.

[Italianstallon99]

I didn't buy anything from them, I just troll the @@@@ out of him.

[Fygmalion]

LOL... Stallion.... I love it... if it was possible, I would double "like" your post....

[Sas]

Still checking if he has the Golden Goddess on the back shelve. lol

[Italianstallon99]

This dude is an ass

[Fygmalion]

She justs wants your money... :-)

[lilfiggy]

oh strudel look at this nice homemade baked apple dumpling with bourbon sauce.....gimme that fig....

[Italianstallon99]

[king_will400h]

i must say, she got me....being that I'm new to figs and all lol!

[Italianstallon99]

[Backyard_Fig]

It aggravates me that Ebay is not more proactive in dealing with these turds

[JMS]

Lol "I'm not really into pictures"....

[Italianstallon99]

His Madeline just got removed from eBay for the picture. I know the guy who picture he used and told him about it.

[Fygmalion]

Thumbs up and thank you... each of us doing our small parts to make things even a little more difficult for the turds will hopefully add up some day... I see that the scammers have now also moved into plants... I think dausername1 has an offer for Panache...
