Hello forum members.

Im new so Im introducing myself. My name is Doug and I live in SC.

Im disabled but make the best of it as I enjoy watching plants grow.

This year I have discovered the

greatness of fig flavor. My wife bought me a dwarf fig from Michigan bulb 4 years ago

which was the Violette de bordeaux. What a great tasting fruit.

It has a peachy strawberry flavor. It took 4 years to produce but its really been producing this year.

I have 2 cuttings of this plant so far that are growing and 9 more in water

Ive collected the turkey fig, black mission, Ischia, LSU purple and celest.

Yes, my hoby just developed.

I have 3 acres in the country and Id like to fill it up with various figs.

Anyone willing to trade a Ronde De Bordeaux for the Violette I have rooting?

Im eager to get as many of the rare varieties as I can get that are hardy in zone 7.

Hoping to make friends, share cuttings and learn.
