Description

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

figs4fun forum member alanmercieca describes Sweet George:

"A wonderful fig originating from Austria. Flavor is an 8 out of 10. It may be a variant of English Brown Turkey, that grew and got adapted very well to the cold winters of Styria Slovenia and Austria. It ripens well depite lots of rain while getting ripe. Needs warmer climate than New Jersey for good fruit even though the tree it's self can survive much colder. It's an old fig variety from a local nursery near Vienna, Austria. The nursery owner's grandfather brought the tree from Styria Slovenia with him in the 1930's, which is south of Austria but not warmer! Because of his grandfather's name, Georg, he called the fig "Susser Georg" ("Sweet George")."

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

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.

I do combine shipping.  Put your items in a shopping cart and request a total.  Do not pay until I have adjusted the invoic
