I got it several days ago and just deleted it from my mail box. I had difficulty understanding it anyway. Thanks for the heads-up!

I got one and wished him luck but said I was not interested and deleted it. Then he emailed me again and I deleted it and added the email address to my spam list.

I did not get it either. Maybe he is afraid of getting cuttings from someone who grows all of his trees using the wrong fertilizer ;o).

Whoever received the pictures; please note that they were copied from a book

The book is available for sale thru the web.

Hi Gorgi
I am a keen fig enthusiast, through my greek background. Unfortunately the the names of fig varieties within Australia has been lost or misinterpreted through the years from the emigrants of Southern Europeans who came here.

I was hoping if you have or you may now of figs from french, spanish or greek origin. Is there a possibilty I can obtain some cuttings.
I live in Brisbane in Australia, the weather is subtropical with some humidity, not sure which figs do better in humid climates.
I will be happy to pay for costs to transport the fig cuttings by mail to Australia, and any costs for you.

Many thanks

George
