Okay the first part of this is a repost from the main fig forum. But the trade list is below. Mostly geared to local pickup and ranging widely from 20 Gal figs and down. I actually hate shipping and prepping stuff as I don’t think it’s really worth the hassle in many cases, and I always worry how live plants will make it in transit, and in most cases doesn’t make sense on shipping the larger plants regardless for either you or me. If I have traded with you in past I might make an exception if you really want something shipped. I still have planting room but some things I don’t need duplicates of and some of my favorites I don’t need 5 of so I can keep trying new things. Most of these are pretty available regardless, but some good solid figs, but don’t look for the “NEXT Greatest Fig EVER!!!!” Because remember 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.” Unless God speaks to me and commands I share it. A couple of local folks I have traded with a lot know they can have anything I have for free if they want.
Most are in fine shape, some are root bound, and a couple might even need some TLC. Not more than a couple of anything. If you see something that interests you let me know I will let you know more detail on it’s size source condition etc… , but it might take me awhile to get back with you. I have good records but as they got moved back in garage and packed in there can’t really access or find but probably out again in next day or 2 depending my back and knees give the okay. Even when out might take awhile to locate, and not leafed out yet so will know better in a few weeks. What am I looking for? I really don’t know besides a few hard to find types, but not really expecting those. I will listen and just like to try different ones I have saw good reports on, doesn’t need to be HTF just don’t be offended if I don’t want the trade as I have a bunch of other figs and other plants just not listed as I don’t have for trade right now. I doubt I will move many plants, but I am getting close to taking to a local market, trying Craigslist and selling things for the 1st time but thought I would at least offer here 1st as trades. A couple folks asked If I would sell outright and I think I am at the point I will cross that line. I have only sold 2 figs ever both benefit auctions on the forum here. This will always be hobby for me and it starts to feel like work when money involved so I will see how it goes. I would ask that if you are interested in actually buying something that be handled in PM as I believe that would best. I will try and talk you out of anything shipped out and not locally picked up, as while I ship cuttings I stress to much shipping live plants
Yesterday I made the move from all my garaged plants to outside in the driveway but not to their summer homes yet. Lots and lots of pots in the hundreds and I kept thinking what am I doing to myself? Many are duplicates I have propagated, some are recent additions, and some are ones I just have not dared planting for winter yet. Not just figs, but Persimmons, Pawpaw, Pomegranates, Kiwi, Olives, Citrus, Mulberry, Goumi, and more. I was pretty much finished and my wife drove in and said “have you seen the weather?” I said yes the rain will do them good, and she stated she’d just driven through massive hail and they say there is a lot more coming tonight. I was like to hell with it, whatever happens happens, and I sat down, but as I rested viewing everything I had protected all winter I realized - get on your feet boy! Winter is almost past. Why carry the ball down to the 1 yard line and punt. Why play for 3 quarters and be up by 25 points to lose the game in overtime. I stated because I’m a Falcons Fan. I slapped myself for that remark and the adrenalins gave me strength and I “Rised Up” and moved everything back in much of it struggling in the rain and I felt good about myself because I beat the hail. I went to bed exhausted but feeling better knowing I had done what I could. The hail never came. This morning I was looking at the forecast realizing everything looks good for a move outside except my back. I was angry and started walking through the orchard talking out loud to myself. I do this a lot and it’s where most of my thinking takes place, and soon my head rose to the sky and I started speaking to God. I do this a lot as well. Last summer during drought I would be asking lots of questions directed to the sky while out watering trying at least to keep things alive. It’s probably best I moved out rural a few years ago less folks to make comments about the crazy plant guy. This morning I was looking for answer, why do I do this to the point where I turn enjoyment into grief? Am I a hoarder? Am I mentally stable? Again my head turned to the Heavens and I asked for guidance and then it happened, I thought I was struck by lightning and lost my thoughts, I heard a voice and I was so shocked I did not understand. I asked what did you say and again God spoke and this time I heard more clearly but I was beyond shocked, as God’s voice was the voice of a woman so I still did not hear clearly. With my head still to the sky I whispered God please forgive me but could you repeat that one more time? Then in a loud thundering tone I heard in a voice amazingly similar to my Wife. “YOU NEED TO SELL SOME OF THIS CRAP - ARE YOU DEAF?” Humbled and shaking I fell to my knees and lowered my head. I asked God if she would consider Trading plants for penance for my sins and she said as long as you are fair and just and to go forth be ye fruitful, and propagate bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
So here at GODs command is pretty close to what I think I have to offer in trade. Most I propagated either by cutting or graft, Fig are all from cutting. A few things I actually purchased.
