    Greetings!
    Check out the Petite Negri fig at Raintree...

    My understanding is that the ones from Parks are pretty small, and while I've never ordered a fig from Raintree, I have ordered other small fruit bushes from them and have been very pleased at their size and health.

    I have petite negri, Unfortunately it's not too productive. The tree is in a 15 gallon, produces a couple of fruits for the past 3 years. The figs produced are excellent tasting.
    here's how my Petite Negri looks like,

    I only have six indoor figs and six bananas now, due to a rather nasty automobile accident that kept me incapacitated from April until November, most of my figs and bananas were 're-homed'. I was hoping to get them back but unfortunately, everyone that that took them fell in love with them.
    I have Hunts, Sandys Strawberry Verte, Viollet Black, Hardy Chicago and two I can't remember that I got off of Ebay.
    I also have two Brown Turkeys, that if they survive this winter out side, will have over wintered outside three winters here in Minnesota. Granted, they are in a perfect mico-climate, and I do wrap them, but that they survive at all is for me a miracle. I got them from the great-grandfather of a friend that lived in upstate NY (zone 4). He said to plant them right next to the house on the south side and bundle them up in the winter. So far it's worked. They are more like shrubs/bushes than trees (I prune them before getting them ready for winter). They've put out more fruit than my potted figs, the fruit is small but sweet. I have my fingers crossed that they will come through this winter.

    I don't know of any other nurserys that sell Strawberry Verte, I'm sure others on this forum can help you with that...none of the nurseries I use (Raintree, Edible Landscaping, Burnt Ridge) carry that fig.

    I have to admit I love my Sandy's Strawberry Verte (when I got it I think it was called Battaglia Strawberry Verte?).

    If you can't find one, I would suggest you get a Conradia from Paradise while they still have them...Paradise's figs are the BEST.

    Maybe someone here can get you a cutting now...or I can give you a couple of cuttings later on in the spring-right now my Strawberry is 'sleeping' nice and snug in my garage.
