I tried his blog but it tells me I need an invitation and to contact the author but gives no reference on how to contact.

I want to purchast true O'Rourke, Smith and Hollier fig plants.

Smith you can get at Justfruit and exotics in Fl. Nice trees. Or you can wait a bit and I can do an air layer for you off of one of mine.

Dan does not sell. Nor does he trade, except for something exceptional or rare. Don't bet on any response.

I think Edible Landscaping has O'Rourke.

Their "O'Rourke" is actually an LSU Improved Celeste (Hybrid)...

You can get all three from JF&E, they will resume shipping in October. I have their O'Rourke and it is true when I compare to posted leaves by others.

Thanks for the replies. I may have to wait until Oct.

I'm going to be ordering Smith and others from them in October myself.... unless of course I swing a trip down there and pick some up in person.

If you want to see any of the pages on his blog just click the down arrow next to the Google search result and then click on "cached". Take with a grain of salt.

I bought my Hollier from Rolling River Nursery a few months ago. It arrived as a large plant around four feet tall, was planted in a five gallon pot, and has branched out nicely. Their website says they still have four plants in stock.
