Hello Figsters,
This one has alluded me in the past. Now that it is cuttings season I would love to acquire 5 fine cuttings to root. I am willing to trade for cuttings. Please send me an Alert (?$) to cut a deal. Thank you for any replies!

I just checked Off The Beaten Path and GM is sold out. While I was looking at it right next to it my eye caught sight of The Godfather cuttings and to my surprise they were priced at $10 but slashed to $8 and they are still available. Hey everybody, remember what The Godfather cuttings cost when they first became available? How fast it sold out? What a difference time makes.
 
@wellingtonbill it’s nice to see you. Your LSU tiger did super this past season. It produced many fig and even some double figs. That tree is very vigorous also. It was like a beast. My Dolan’s Gold had one fig make it to ripening and it was very good. Did yours produce any figs? Again Bill wonderful to see you
 
Hello Teresa, thank you for the welcome. I have been real busy lately and have not kept up with my fig friends online like I wanted too. So pleased the LSU Tiger has grown and produced well for you already. My in ground LSU Tiger is also a beast. It has several 10" to 15" inch gray trunks now. Dolan's Gold made me one ripe fig. Not exciting, but I am hopeful for 2025. I have helped start this past year a couple orchards in NC - greatly reducing my collection. Here is what I have at this time: LSU's in ground: Tiger, Gold, Purple, Scott's Yellow, Scott's Black, and Red (small). These more rare and small LSU's are potted: T6, DC6, and 156. I also have RdB, Vista, Black Violette, my delicious Purple Unk, and Golden Riverside in the ground. I also have Martinenca Rimada, Raspberry Latte, Paradiso Green/Gene, Honey Plum, Hardy Chicago, Jolly Tiger, LSU Red (2), Ocracoke Sugar, MBvs, Madeleine di Deux Sasson's and a few other small potted "hold outs.' If you have some interesting cuttings shoot me an Alert. Your NC friend, Bill.

All "new" figs command premium since all want to jump to get them first. Some early birds want to make money from them. Over time, people get to know the "new" varieties. A lot of disappointment follows. There are just so many of them. A lot are just recycled figs with racy new names. Game goes on and on....

No one is certain as to what this Godfather fig truly is. I believe Coop first introduced this fig and I recall his daughter's friend has connection to Godfather film crew. It was a sugar type of fig. It is a crowded fig group. So it does not take off. I could be wrong.
