Description

All my figs are container grown in Wisconsin.  Cuttings were taken in late November after trees had gone dormant and have been stored in a fridge at 37-40 degrees.  You are bidding on 2 dormant cuttings of Mead.


“It is a delicious fig from my late Aunt Sarah Mead's yard in Hanover. Aunt Sarah was the sister of my great step- grandfather, but everyone in the family called her Aunt Sarah. The tree was given to Aunt Sarah and her husband by an Italian couple who brought two plants back from a trip back home, at least 40 years ago. These trees were large and suckered out over a good size area, with lots of those tight noded fruiting branches. Many people enjoyed the figs over the years. My Aunt told me of some Greek ladies that would visit every year to pick baskets of figs.”

*********************************

I’ve been growing and trialing figs in southwestern Wisconsin for 30 years. My focus was on container figs which will ripen in Wisconsin without a greenhouse, but now that I have an unheated hoophouse & I’ve been putting many varieties in the ground.

I am sacredgroveorganics on eBay and run a Facebook group called NORTHERN FIG GROWERS which has several thousand members.  I also sell cuttings of currants, grapes, elderberries, willows, kiwis and scionwood of pears and mulberries.
