Description

(THESE CUTTINGS ARE PARTLY GREEN, NOT FULLY LIGNIFIED)

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

One Green World says this about Olympian:

"Olympian Fig produces two crops of green and purple striped fruit with sweet, violet flesh that is excellent for fresh eating, canning or drying. It is an incredibly cold hardy fig, reportedly down to zone 6, and reliably produces two crops, even in cool coastal conditions."

Almost Eden says this about Olympian:

"The Olympian Fig was discovered in Olympia, Washington by Denny McGaughy and is a choice variety for cool climates as well as warmer regions. Withstanding the test of time this is actually an heirloom that had been growing in a protected site for over 100 years. Olympian was confirmed to be a distinct cultivar via DNA testing when compared with the 270 varieties at the USDA ARS Germplasm Repository in California."

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

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.
