For East coast fig growers, Pete has left up his Virginia page which I find a great resource that covers many varieties.

Good one... Thank you!

https://waynesword.net/arbimg10.htm Some good info here. Just remember when reading. He is talking about other types of ficus as well. And some photo's will be a certain fig specific wasp. And not the one that pollinates carica.

This was the first website I visited to get information on my family unknown fig tree. A great resource on figs and other fruits.

A recent link on the website lists various health benefits and provides fig recipes that look and sound delicious.

This one has some useful info:
https://www.ourfigs.com/

Seriously though, there is a lot of good historical info. Is there a way to archive it so that it doesn’t disappear someday?

That is probably one of the most dense places on the net for fig info, I suppose if I was the owner I would be backing it up.
Hoping to make this place a great source too!

 

[TorontoJoe]

Forget the link and the archive for a moment! Whatever.... @"SubmarinePete"#105 I needed to pinch myself... so good to hear from you!

Please, feel free to keep us on our toes... I know full well we don't have the largest repository of info... yet.

It is my goal to become the, "most dense"

So happy to see you here....

I respect his work.
Is that the only place where you can buy rare varieties officially imported from overseas?

Many used to send overseas. But they have since stopped. It is a lot of work and time to ship to other countries legally. A headache many do not want.

I like on YouTube James Prigioni, Gardener Scott, Gary Pilarchick the rusted garden.

 

[TorontoJoe]

I like James Prigioni as well. He’s friends with Anthony (themillennialgardener) but I’ve not been able to reach him about the site

 

[ktrain]

James just has a great attitude all the time, always a pep in his step, good videos.
