BRAZOS BOTTOM RED

Up for auction is a Brazos Bottom Red Fig in a 1-gallon pot. Brazos Bottom Red fig comes from an estate in Brazos County Texas but its origins go deeper than that. The story of this fig is that it comes from Italian immigrants who came here in the early 1800s. This variety originally came from...

So much hype. I guess a lot of people must have received A+ grade in their grade school language art classes!

It seems we found another fig unicorn. The owner does not want other people to take photos of that tree. I have no problem if anyone wants to take photos of my trees. I get hundreds of them.

God help me now I want a Brazos Bottom Red too. Love me a big red fig sweet has candy.
 
Just a week or so ago, the last one on FigBid went for like $30. Are we to blame for the sudden interest? Did someone here win it?
 
I won it last week… and it was a good deal…just lucky I guess … I can’t quite figure it out… I usually look at the selling history of the variety being sold… but there is no consistency usually. I guess they get dead set on acquiring it.
 
Alrighty guys I got me a brazos bottom red coming in the mail next week. Probably shouldn’t have bid it up but it was midway of my last max bid and where the last sale ended. I will pot up to a large container so I can share with this group by the end of next growing season! I may be able to get an air layer or two by the end of this year but next year the magic will happen lol

Howdy From Texas!

Anyone here know of a source for Brazos Bottom Red? I believe that a Figbid seller, figbidness, is the originator from a mother tree in their family out in the Bryan-College Station area. Sadly, I live in Texas, but finding rooted cuttings or trees is difficult.

Best,
Heather
