I lost two of my three fig trees over the winter , well one to the winter and the other to the weedeater. LOL!!!
I am looking for rooted cuttings of any fig trees other than Brown Turkey for SASE
Sharon
looking for rooted figs
Sharon I can do cuttings of LSU Purple and LSU Gold figs but don't have time to root them for the RU.
Jeri
That would be great Jeri!!
I can get them to root, I think!! I never heard of those two , going to go look them up now.I have some small rooted Methley plum trees, if you want one?
Thanks Bunches, Sharon
Here is all I could find on the figs:
LSU GOLD LSU release with great resistance to splitting. Fast grower and heavy producer of large, light yellow, very sweet figs. Ripens July-August. Zones 8B-10. $26.99 3 gal (2-3ft).
LSU PURPLE Another great LSU fig, small to medium with purple to burgundy fruit. Good vegetative growth for a bushy, well-formed fig bush. Zones 8B-10. $26.99 3 gal (2-3ft).
Looks like you'll have to bring them in Sharon. They are hardy to zone 8B. LMK if you still want some!!!
Jeri
Yes, I will give them a try!! They sound great !
they may suffer some die back as young ones often do around here but I'll try them in the greenhouse for a year or so before I stick them in the ground. Thanks,
Sharon
I'll bring you both!!!
I did do some more research and the purple is hardy to zone 7B. So it's looking better for survival in your area outside.
