Pack #1 - Early Bird Assortment Pack

 Packs consist of 10 total cuttings – five (5) fig tree varieties with two (2) cuttings of each – that are ideal for growing in Zones 6-7. (See below for varieties contained in this pack.)

All cuttings contained in the pack are from fig trees that have grown in-ground and unprotected here in Lancaster, PA (Zone 6B) and have fruited fairly well for a number of consecutive years. (Protection would no doubt increase yield substantially, but we have been happy with the dependable volume we get every year.) As a result of in-ground growing, the thickness of the cuttings is much better than container-grown trees – these cuttings are large, heavy and full of energy!

Early Birds Assortment Pack includes:

• Makedonia Dark »Very dependable Mt. Etna type fig with very good flavor and winter resistance. Dark berry fig, extremely productive and early. Responds extremely well to dieback.
• RdB » This unique fig has striking beauty and delicious, almost raspberry flavor. It has a thin jet-black skin with strawberry interior. This is an excellent choice for the Northeast because it is very early. It is probably one of the earliest figs to ripen in my collection. It can split with rain, but that is it's only flaw.
• Pellegrino » Similar to Longue d' Aout but seems to resist splitting much better.
• Teramo » Among the earliest ripening figs with great production. Has remarkable winter hardiness. A must-have for the NE grower Bisirri 3»This is one of the long lost figs from Mr. Bisirri in Philadelphia.
• Bisirri #3 » may have been a neighbor’s fig that was stored in Mr. Bisirri’s greenhouse over the winter. It is dark berry and seems to be larger than the average Mt Etna type fig. Thanks to Ricci for this excellent find.
