Description

This is for Two (2) Southport, NC (Unknown) fig cuttings.  A very productive plant that typically wants to grow bushy.  Cuttings will be around 7 to 9 inches long with a minimum of 3 nodes. This is a common variety that doesn't require wasp pollination.

Background:  We bought our home in Southport, NC in 2013.  The back of the property backs up to a several hundred acre protected wooded area.  During a mini expedition, discovered an old homestead that had long been vacant.  In what once was a front yard, a fig tree was discovered in dire need of TLC.  
 
The fig tree was cut back and viable stump removed.  The unknown fig tree was replanted in our yard.  
 
Fast forward to 2019.  After years of research trying to find the original owners, we were unable to do so.  The city believes the homestead was part of a plantation in the 1920's or 30's.  The fig tree has produced very well for us.  
 

Taste profile:  Nice seed crunch....medium to high sweetness...nice down to earth bright figgy taste.  Carol's favorite, surpassing Smith.

This is our top fig for us this year!! 

We will cut on the same day shipped, which is early morning. 

We assume this and all fig plants have or have been exposed to fig mosaic virus. Usually this does not significantly effect the mature tree.  Have had minimal symptoms over the years that doesn't seem to negatively impact them if given proper water and fertilizer.  We are southport_retirees on the Ourfigs Forum.  Feel free to ask any questions.  We've been growing fig trees for more than 35 years and so enjoy growing and sharing.

We'll gladly combine shipping.  Thank you for looking.
