AUGUSTA PURPLE

[twocat]

I am too slow and was not able to get a cutting from OBP.. Does anyone have two cuttings that they would be willing to sell or trade?

 

[TorontoJoe]

I wish. My best advice would be to contact @The Figtator

Doesn't seem like it's very wide spread yet.

Well if OTB had it in their cutting sale and sold out it will be out in the general public sooner rather than later. OTB sells well rooted potted trees in the summer. Perhaps you can get a tree then. You can always email Bill and ask him what he has available.

I was told by someone else they had already sold all the augusta purple earlier this season.

The variety has been circulating a few years it looks like just no one really selling it yet other than OTB.

What is attractive about Augusta Purple?

Is Augusta Purple the same variety as Adam?

 

[Trustyfarms]

I am propagating it in 2025 and will see how it performs in our heat and humidity. Tentatively I plan to have air layers available in 2026.

I am still interested if anyone have some cuttings

@Trustyfarms, how did this variety perform for you?

It grew well on both grafted trees but no ripe figs this year.
