I have to ask, what's the story with Texas BA-1? Is it better than Smith and is it really from TAMU?

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.

I bid to 35 thinking I had a chance lol, guess the hype is real. It showed winner as BrentM with a last minute steal

I initially bid on the one that went for $30...stopped around $25. In terms of the one that went today, I was a $45 hard stop so it definitely wasn't me.
