I think it will go to astronomical heights. It might be enough to pay for Frank's next trip. LolWishlist; Green Michurinska, St. Rita

Hmm. I better start putting in a ton of over time at work before the auction ends. I'm pretty sure that I'll run out of time though. Maybe I'll be able to get my hands on this variety in about 7 or 8 years.Comment

I bid $10. Do y'all think that will get it? Haha Oh, wait I've already been outbid. Oh, darn.

OK, it is going to a long while before this one is off my wish list. Some day when it is more common I will have it.
If I was going for it, it would be with one bid,5 seconds before the end of auction, heart racing.Comment

Does anyone know the cold hardiestness of this fig being that it is from Switzerland?Wish List -Comment
-
Ponte Tresa has a nice micro climate going. It's not really from Switzerland, it's the southernmost point of Switzerland. Ponte Tresa is half Swiss- half italian.
Temps in winter rarely go below -3 celsius and even that only for a few nights per year. -
Dave, I have wondered the same thing. The mother tree is less than a mile from the Italian border on a lake which would keep the tree warmer on the cold nights and cooler in the heat of the summer. I would guess based on its geography that it is at least average cold hardiness. It seems to be an excellent grower and very healthy (no signs of fmv so far) so that always is a good sign for being able to withstand the cold. In the next couple years I'm sure there will be more information out there on the cold hardiness (and other qualities) of this variety.

It's a beautiful fig but is it similar to a sucrette ud, 184.15 or 187.25? The tree is found in Switzerland but is the tree a new variety or people aren't 100 percent sure what it's originally was so they call it pt?Comment

Rob I see what you are talking about half of the roots are in Italy and the other half of the roots are in Switzerland

On a per cutting basis they're already getting close to what Mai paid for the 4....per cutting these are likely ending up even more expensive.Greg, Maine, zone 5. Wish List: Green MichurinskaComment

Well I came up with a plan I can't afford $500- $600 for cuttings so I did a little research on google maps and found the tree in while I was looking at the street shot I saw this cable guy driving by I am going to give him a call on Monday and ask him if he wants to make an extra $100 bucks well you could figure out the rest of the story wish me luck!
