Hi Everyone. My friend and I are in the process of clearing some land on a island off of long island NY. We would like to build a coldhouse/greenhouse and grow figs. Would anyone like to send us a few stems for propagation? We'd like any varieties you may have that would work in a zone 7/6 environemnt. They'll be inside somewhat, protected from desicating winds so maybe zone 8 would work too. we'd really appreciate anything.

Would you like a Celeste? I can get one rooted for you by next spring if you want. The cactus in the 3rd pic is beautiful.

Looking also for some cuttings for postage. I started some last spring and they did pretty well until something decided to dig up and chew my plants. All I have left now is one brown turkey in a pot in my basement, covered under plant plastic so it does not break dormancy.
So if you have some cuttings to share, I can pay the postage.
thanks

Hey Gorgi,
That would be great. I really want to find as many varieties as possible.
I'm not sure how to find your email. Mine's dfokine@yahoo.com. Hope to hear from you.
