The cuttings listed here are known to me as Caralheto Preto.  These are a super yummy fig that is consistently one of my top 10 figs. There has been some discussions about the Lungo del Portogallo being a synonym for this cultivar, but it has not been verified.  You can read more about that here.

I introduced this find about a couple of years ago at OurFigs.com:

The tree was brought over from Portugal many years ago by a neighbor.  The owner of the mother tree immigrated from Lisbon Portugal about 18 years ago and brought this tree with him. As you can see by the pictures, this tree grew very well here in zone 7. This is a delicious dark berry fig with a jammy red interior. The mother tree is very prolific and should provide plenty of figs through the fall.

 

One thing amazing about figs brought over by generational immigrants to consider: the immigrants are leaving their mother land, sometimes forever. They bring whatever they can schlep. Yet, they bring a fig tree which I believe must have such a unique and savory flavor to them they cannot buy here in the United States. Moreover, I would like to think it's their way of bringing some of their old home roots to their new start. Personally, I love collecting these family heirlooms as I believe there is nothing more authentic.

 

Payment is expected no later than 12 hours of invoice.  Payment is required to ship cuttings in a timely fashion.  Delay of payment may result in a delay of shipping. 

 

KYS - Know Your Seller!  There are a lot of people selling fig trees and fig tree cuttings that are NOT what they represent.  Sadly, you will not know until a year or 2 later when there is little recourse.  Simple searches of usernames on the internet can prevent this.

Return Policy
If you receive a damaged item or are unhappy with the purchase, please email me.  I believe that CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS ESSENTIAL! As with all reputable sellers, I try to carefully pack cuttings and plants to protect them during shipping.  If there is any damage to the package upon receipt, please take a picture or two showing the damage to the unopened package with the label visible with the tracking ID.  If you would prefer, you can refuse shipping, write "Return to Sender: DAMAGED" on the outside of the unopened package, and return it to the vendor for inspection.  The delivery service is supposed to send the package back to me documented with the damage.  Upon confirmation of the damage, I will issue a complete refund. Due to the varying shipping environments, the package may not look great upon receipt.  If you do not wish to send it back, please remove and inspect the item right away.  Please take a picture or two and email me with any concerns.  I will provide replacements or 100% refunds up to a week after delivery, as long as the condition is documented with me upon receipt.  You may need to bring the cutting and original shipping package to the post office for inspection.  Please do contact me ASAP so I may assist with the process.
