Cutting's For Trade/Sale

[Taverna78]

Ciao Family,

I have got some cutting packets from my Bi39 and from a tree I haven't spoke much about because of couple reason....
Tis tree My Zio bring to me a few years ago as gift and I have eaten these Fig in Italia but no here yet. Tis tree grow on same mountain as our Bi39 but opposite side of mountain. There is very tall and large tree. I can say I have no seen Fig like tis here yet. But also there are many type of Fig. My apologies for no able to give you correct type but Is a white fig with with almost golden/red tint pulp. Is very sweet I remember and about size of golf ball when ripe. Tis tree grow very very fast and last winter was the first winter since I receive it that it did not die back to the ground. Since having it and starting to let people known about it and then wanting to known the name of it just as Bi39 was named because in town they don't known science name of them either. Just purple and white fig. Until I can get some ripe fruits or verified for name purposes because is now in Chicago and from Italia and is white some friend of me and I think
"Chi-Talia Blanco" sounds nice. So I have packs of 5 cuttings in each if anyone is interested to trade me you can let me know. I can't really make price in them because I never sell any of my Fig or cutting so I can't determine cost. I also have about 10 packs of Bi39 if anyone interested. We have buried the mother Bi39 in trench already and I have one last tree growing in my home now I think I may auction. My plan is to have all packets gone in 2 week so I can make one visit to the post to ship all at one time. I hope you all are well and have belle day!

[Taverna78]

Ciao Vito!

How are you? I am do okay. Amico at tis moment all my cutting is gone. I give my word to you when I dig up in spring I send you package to you! Maybe any member that got some may trade you couple for something ? If no let me known and I send you in spring

[paracletefarms]

Hey Sir, just doing an update on the cuttings I got from you and recently put into cups. The Bi39 still looked good and the Chi-Talia grew roots extremely well, with many nodes growing roots strongly ! Thank you again for sending out the cuttings last year and I can't wait to see how the grow up.

[Taverna78]

Belle ! What root method you use?

[paracletefarms]

I wrapped them in a damp paper towel inside of a ziplock bag then put them on the shelf and (literally) forgot about them until a couple of days ago, haha.

Then one huge cutting had great roots at every major node so I cut it into 4 pieces and put each one into solo cups that get put into clear totes. Every cutting looked great and viable so I took a little risk by cutting that one up hedging my bet with the others.

When I get it into my orchard I am going to make little signs, similar to how arboretum display plant type/info, that will have its name and story that you wrote up, so people can learn the history and amazing travels some of these figs have had

[Taverna78]

Woaw tis way take long time!
