what varieties did you get?

Hi, ediblelandscaping.sc:

I got 2 dark fig and 2 light colored fig trees:
'Cvetko' *Golden brown fig; amber flesh; large size*
Very sweet figs and they mature quickly.
This variety is very productive in Quebec.

Drumondii' *Almost black fig; red flesh; large size*
Very sweet figs and they mature quickly.
This variety is very productive in Quebec.

'Archipel' *Greenish-yellow fig; honey-colored flesh; large size*
Large early production.
'Lsu Gold' *Yellow fig; pink flesh; large size*
Exceptional taste.

I would love to get many other types of fig tree but I don't have an acre of land so now I am content with 1 inground fig and 1 small sucker plant from that tree.
The inground fig maybe is a Kadota, moved last summer, insulated during winter with lots of leaves, a wire cage, old carpet and 1 large cardboard box that was used to transport a 25" TV of older version. This tree was 3 and 1/2 feet tall but was reduced to 1 foot high due to molds. One hard lesson learned that it is tricky to keep tree warm enough but not to cook the tree when the weather is not stable-one day cold, the next day hot!
Now, this shortened tree is growing well again!

And now plus these 4 little fig babies from Brugmansia-quebec nursery. I will be watching them closely and recording the process as if conducting an experiment.

What varieties of fig trees do you grow?

Hi,

Update of my 4 lovely fig babies:
The fig babies are doing well!
LSU Gold growing the fastest while Archipel
is the slowest of all.

Good old Adriano

Here is a link that might be useful: Adriano

Quick questions:

Was the ordering process simple, or did you have to fill out permits, forms, and other Governmental crap, to get those trees mailed into The States? I want to simply, order, pay, and take delivery. Done, finished, end of story.

I want to order from either/or, but want my name linked to NOTHING that the despicable, US Gov't can intercept. But then again, they already intercept, and store, everything that's sent over computers, e-mails, and phone lines. I still hate all the "red-tape".

Thanks for the help, and answers. Both Brugmansia and Adriano has some interesting selections.

Hi, sikovasiliko:

My drummondi and cveko are not doing well!
I am worried that these two may not survive as Winter is coming
and they are almost the same size as I had received them
earlier in June. I wonder if they were stressed because they were not transplanted right the way.

My other two fig babies are doing wonderfully.
LSU gold is growing the fastest, it has grown a little more than 6".
Archipel is growing well (not as fast as LSU gold), its leaves
are just beautiful (green with 5 lobes).

So, how is your new fig baby Cveko?

hi fignewbies,

ive just ordered it so it wont be here before spring time. do you bury your fig tree or do you put them in a garage for the winter. did you get any figs on your cvetko...this year im going to bury my fig trees hoping that it will be better for them instead of being in my garage... what do you think. sv thanks

FIGNEWBIE.. ONE PLACE IT SAYS YOUR FROM CALIFORNIA.. YET, YOU SAY THAT THIS IS A GOOD PLACE FOR ANY CANADIANS TO BUY FROM??? DO THEY OR DO THEY NOT SHIP TO THE UNITED STATES? I R CONFUSED....

Here is another small farm/nursery in Niagara that has fig trees for pick up and ships fig cuttings.
