Hi paradox,

bit harder to send rooted cuttings,        what did you have in mind?

yes have about 25 varieties,  most named,   and some that are misnamed. 

 

 

 

Hi Crop,

im not in the tropics so cant recomend  any i know of,      figs dont really

like the wet tropics as they can suffer from rust.

if you come across a variety that may suit let me know in case i have it,

Hi figman, most of the Greeks I know up this way seem to be growing Brown Turkeys grafted on to one of the local figs, Sandpapers are popular root-stock. I was looking for something different. Trees I've read about doing well on their own roots in a similar climate, mainly in South East Asia or Southern India are Corfl, Kadota, Kun Ming, Osborne, China "Fertility", Anatolian Autumn Green, Panache, Bangalore, Poona, Battaglia Green, Hunt, Black Ischia ,Lucknow and Alma. Some other varieties that sound promising in humid weather are Celeste, Excel, LSU Purple, Nero and Shtawi. Let me know if you have any of these?

This is all second hand, so if any one, has any suggestions please speak up.
