Any old 'Friends of the Fig Society' members left?

19 years ago

I'm looking for anyone who used to be a member of the Friends of the Fig Society that we started up here in Georgia around 1980. At our local meetings, I gave a number of people rooted cuttings from my favorite fig that I had tentatively identified as a Hunt. It had a Celeste-like appearance, except for a VERY long neck and equally long stem that allowed it to droop the small, closed eye downward, making it immune to wet weather and splitting/souring. It had a very thin, edible skin and had an excellent taste and texture. The ripe figs usually had a little drop of "honey" at the eye. This was a special fig that I got from my father, now deceased, but, in moving, I've lost all scions from it. If anybody can help me locate a copy, I would be very grateful and would exchange rootings of all of mine for that one. You can respond to Editor@RewriteRight.com.
