Super Bowl Fig Cutting Giveaway

Well-known member
I recently visited the LSU AgCenter Hammond Research Station and collected fig cuttings from their research orchard. A couple of the fig trees weren’t in great shape, so I harvested the best-quality cuttings I could from those trees. Other trees produced very nice, high-quality cuttings.

All cuttings are offered as-is.

Important Details​

  • The winner is required to make a donation to the FigFanatic forum
  • Shipping costs are covered
  • Open to forum members living in the continental United States
  • California excluded due to state shipping laws

🧮 Choosing the Winner​

  1. Normally, the entry must correctly pick the winning team
  2. If no one predicts the exact score, the winner will be the entry closest to the actual score, determined by the smallest combined point difference (difference for each team added together)
  3. Donation Bonus Rule:
    • If an entrant commits to a forum donation over $50:
      • The requirement to correctly pick the winning team is waived
      • The prize will include 6 additional cuttings
    • The donation is only required if that entrant wins
  4. In the event of a tie in total point difference, the earlier entry wins

  • If ONE bonus condition occurs → prize increases from 6 to 12 cuttings
