Any good places to buy fig cuttings?

13 years ago

Hi guys,

I was wondering if any of you could recommend any sources that I can buy or order fig cuttings from?

I went to check out Encanto, but most of what I wanted was sold out already. I guess he sells out quick, because I inquired within less than a week of them going on sale.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of other places or even other people that I can buy fig cuttings from? Or, ( I know this is a long shot) is there anywhere in NJ to go to buy them?

Thanks! Christy

I also am looking for fig cuttings. I only have the Chicago Hardy variety and would like to try european varieties like Adriana, Adriano, adriatico, black fig, etc. I would greatly appreciate offers of cuttings. I live in West Michigan.

My fig tree came from a layered stem from an old Italian's house in Orange. The trees are wrapped up now, but if you can find one, maybe you could get one from someone who grows figs in the Spring. I have some in my basement, but I don't know if they have survived.

Hi, olympia_gardener: I am new to fig tree growing in ground. I had a fig tree that was indoor for several years. It was in a big,heavy pot and I got tired of moving the tree out to the garden in May and back into the home in September. So I have this tree planted in ground this July for the first time and I just have it covered up with a garbage can this afternoon for the time being. I still have to put more materials to protect it better. I live in Toronto, Canada. The winter is harsh here. I saw this website for free fig cuttings, you can see this website: http://www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=12146 I hope you can get free fig cuttings from USDA, and if you do get it, please tell me the details. I would like to place an order to the USDA for free fig cuttings in the future soon. But I am unsure of the steps as I haven't got a DHL account. Good luck! Fignewbies

Although his business is too young to have a track record, I would suggest you try Jon's new business at Figs4fun or Encanto Farms. Jon is a regular contributor to this forum, seems to know what figs are all about, and has helped many novices and journeymen alike with answers to questions. Beyond that, the only nursery where I have recently purchased fig trees is Edible Landscaping. Their service is quite good, and they are well known to be honest about their varieties (names).

Hello, it is has been a solid 6 years since I have been in this forum but I use to read it constantly. Figs obviously...but also lots of great gardening and pruning advice. In the past 6 years, I had to give up my trees and trust them to my old neighbors and friends. With that I again have a nice sunny spot for a new tree. I found my old trees were not great fruit bearers in New Jersey and thought a Sal's would probably do well in my area. Does anyone have cuttings they could share for shipping/handling or point me to a nursery that would carry them come spring? I live in central NJ. Thanks for the time. Dan

Christy,

Here is a link to the list of cuttings being provided by Encanto Farms: http://encantofarms.com/Available_Cuttings_2011.html . Supplies are limited and some are already sold out.

Good luck!

Oops! Disregard my last post. LOL. Between this forum and the Figs4Fun forum, there are a lot of generous members who would probably share varieties they have. Anything in particular you seek?

hi Guys!

thanks so much for the replies!I am pretty much looking for anything I do not have, although I do like Italian varieties.

As for asking if anyone personally would like to sell me cuttings off the forums, I just thought it may be seem as not polite? I did not want to come off in the wrong way, so that is not why I did not ask if anyone on the forum was selling.
But of course, if anyone was willing to sell to me, I would not mind buying from fellow forum members. I just did not want to come off the wrong way.
I did see Jon's listings on Ebay, but some of them are actually the few I was able to get from him before.
So, I would be interested in anything I do not have. Since I only started to collect 3 years ago, most of my collection is young.
I would love to find the fig my grandma had. It was brought over from Italy years ago. It was brought over from the Salerno region. Some say it was probably Trojano, but I hear that some labelled Trojano may not be the correct one.
Thanks again so much! Christy

I am sorry for not replying. I thought was going to get an email alert of the replies but I did not.

So yest I am still looking for cuttings. Any variety will work. My challenge would be rooting it. Never done it before.

I do have FMV free single cuttings of about 15 varieties of French and Spanish figs that I'd be willing to to sell. I would email you directly but it seems that Houzz has eliminated that option. My email is rgabdalla@netzero.net.
