His email had a list of varieties, and many he has not carried in the past (Amator, Reculver, etc).

Has anyone heard anything about the Delaware Destroyer?

The website hasn’t been updated yet, but the sale is supposed to start at 8 pm.

Delaware Destroyer??? That is a new one to me. I will have to take a look at that one. But I don't plan to add many female figs to the collection this year. Goal's first.

Sorry about that Teresa. The typo was in the email, and I thought I fixed it. Just delete the happy at the end. Let me see if I can edit it.

Why does the word happy come up in the browser in the link?

 

[Figgerlickinggood]

Deleting happy works.

I fixed the link.

I would paste his complete list here except I’m out and when I tried using my cell phone, the post exceeded 16000 characters. If I get back before the sale starts, I’ll put it here.

sounds like it would be appropriate to play George Thorogood while you pot up the Delaware Destroyer

Talk about a bunch of UNKs after that potting session

Great selection, many I’ve never heard of.

I'm such a fan of Aaron and NJ Fig Farm. In my humble opinion, NJ is a treasure trove of proven, common figs brought from the old country and kept because they're good. Aaron has been a steadfast fig hunter in his area and has found some amazing specimens. I credit him for making U. Prosciutto available to the community at large.

If anyone is in contact with Aaron, please ask him to drop in and say hi!

I'm not that far from his operation. I'd love to stop by in the Late summer and see some of his heritage finds.

Maybe a find by John du Pont.

Yeah—I was tempted to get Gentille Giallo Piatto because Aaron describes it as tasting like blood oranges, which my hubby loves.

Now that I’ve posted about it, someone, someone will surely buy this rare fig and get it out of my shopping cart for me!

Gentille Giallo Piatto (1 Cutting)

Roughly flat and round, the figs are smooth and thin skinned. The pulp is strawberry red, well balanced with acidity and sweetness. The taste leans strongly towards blood orange.
