I came across this vendor when looking for CdDBN

Does anyone on the forum have any experience with their plants and cuttings?

thanks in advance

I ordered some cuttings from them in December. I ordered 2 varieties and got 3 cuttings of each. They were all obviously cut the day they were shipped. Some were big enough that I was able to cut them in half! All of them have already rooted. I would highly recommend ordering from them, even though they are a bit more expensive than what you can get on ebay.

Great to hear, thank you
What did you get?

[npolaske]

Sucrette and CdDBN. I emailed quite a bit with him and he was really nice to deal with. I'm new here so I obviously have no idea what everyone's issues with him involve, but in my experience everything was positive and I would recommend buying from him.

That operation is run by a former figs4fun forum member who had bad dealings with various members of OurFigs (myself included). I can't speak for the quality of his plants, but his character leaves something to be desired.

I would not buy water from him if I was on fire.........I would not trust him enough to buy anything.....

I need more likes.

I don't think I give a "fig" about the guy. ;-)

Thank you all for your input. No CdDBN from him

I msg'd them on Facebook about getting on a cuttings list for one of the trees they sell and they said that they recently found out that it wasn't true to the name so they had to pull it. Makes me question their stock, personally.

Do you remember the name of the fig in question?

They did say they got new plants from a reputable source for this year though.

I went up to north jersey and bought these fig trees from him at the end of last summer.
