Fig variety 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!
Bill's Picks includes:
-
Italian-258 »
- Smith » Incredible fruity-flavored fig with many different colors upon ripening. Top 5 fig for us!
- Zaffiro » Super sweet and complex dark fig with light amber interior. Very unique.
- JFE Black Madeira (NOT) » I am not sure what this is. It was a mislabeled bunch of trees at Just Fruits & Exotics nursery in 2014. It is excellent. It is on the late side and very vigorous. I really don't think it is LSU Scott's Black. I have LSU Scott's black and the fruit is definitely inferior to this one. The fruit shape is also different. Really a great tasting fig.
- Kesariani » Excellent black fig from Athens, Greece. Early-mid season variety. Very rich and complex. Very vigorous and winter resistant.
» Cuttings will have at least 3 nodes with a thickness greater than a pencil (most like a marker) and are about 6-10 inches in length.
