I have two Greek fig trees without name. The first, tree grew to 7 inch diameter in Arlington Virginia until it got hit by lightening. Medium size green skin figs, very sweet strawberry color pulp. The second, is the exact one you see in dried form imported from Greece in US grocery stores. I will trade cuttings. donate if you live nearby. I would very much like to trade for Vasanata.

Hello Members,

I am in Zone 10 (within 20 miles of the gulf coast of LA) and I LOVE figs. I would very much like to obtain a small rooted cutting, or air layered "yellow long neck" Fig plant. I am also looking for a "Black Mission" fig. I had a huge crop of "Kadota" figs this year, and I think I shall have another crop (of the same) before the winter sets in.

Years ago, I had a very beautiful, and extremely prolific, “yellow” fig tree (grown from the remaining stump of a very old, dying fig tree, which is no longer there today, of course.) It had been given to me by one of my in-laws. This fig cultivar is unknown to me (maybe it was a “yellow long neck”)! A hurricane (don't remember which one) came by one day, and totally demolished my fig tree, along with probably 50 or so other types of fruit trees growing in my yard). I didn't know much back then about propagating fruit trees from cuttings (otherwise I would have saved a few cuttings from my tree)! Perhaps someone in the Louisiana area might know the variety, or something else about this huge "yellow" fig. It produced a very large "tear drop" shaped greenish-yellow fig, and was so-o-o-oh very sweet and delicious when it was very ripe. It was NOT a flattened-shape fig; just absolutely beautiful (and it was definitely NOT a Kadota). I would love to own this fig variety again!

HAPPY FIGGING EVERYONE!!

Marich, I've just joined this forum in order to learn more about figs that would survive in the Texas Gulf Coastal plain (I'm in Houston)... And I know I'm dredging up an extremely old post (your only on the site) but I'm hoping you end up getting the reply - the long necked, yellow fig seems to match the description of the "Longe d'Août" variety. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the forum! Please look up photos of Longe D'Aut/Nordland. You'll see it is not yellow when ripe, it's more olive green-purple-brown. The fig described could be Long Yellow or Yellow Long Neck, or something else entirely. Without pictures of the tree, leaves, and exterior and interior of s ripe fig, there's no way of knowing what it might be.
