[TorontoJoe]

Never heard of that one either. Yall are throwing some good stuff out there! Pretty cool to see what everyone is chasing around.

Whoever wins the cutting contests is going to get some hot varieties! It's a fig nerd's dream!

Yea that’s what it seems like. That’s awesome for yall to do that for the group though. It is much appreciated for sure.

Gulbun!!!! I want to know.if it really tastes like melon. I don't have it because I ran out of yard space.

I'll clear the last corner of the yard out this fall and keep my eye out for a gulbun later this year.

Just pick any fig a bit too early and you’ll get plenty of melon flavor.

Yea, I’ve seen different reports on it. That’s one that I’m pretty excited about. I hope it’s productive for me. It seems like it will be at least vigorous. Was the first one to push leaves.

Which one do you like more, the Stella or the Dalmatie?

I'm partial to my in ground Stella. =)

Very good fig, but sadly, wasn't a keeper for me.

Where do you get the adorable little fig plates? I must have those!

Honestly, I've had more really good Dalmatie here than Stella. My Dalmatie look like the ones in your last pic. The strain I have i got from Pino in Niagara.

Is that from Pino? This strain is off the hook!

No, this one was from someone else, but my other one was from Pino actually. Both were very similar.

They're soy sauce dishes from a local grocery here in Portland. I'll see if I can find one online.

Man yall are making me even more excited for the Stella lol.

I also like Stella because it's fairly easy to find.

What is my most wanted fig? Sicilian 33 has me pretty intrigued.

Why don't I have it yet? I hear those currently growing it have really big dogs!

Yes, very large goldens protecting my Sicilian 33. I swear they would betray me for a treat or some loving, and they are not lacking in either.

rut roh...first I heard that BB doesnt root successfully...I have a few right in the rooting tray right now but have no idea if its doing well or not. They are all just no names right now except for a couple high dollar ones and easily identifiable ones like HdA.

Borda B has rooted fairly well for me, and I initially got one cutting from Harvey a couple of years ago, and it was a tip cutting that grew beautifully. This year, I took a couple of cutting and both are doing well and have successfully rooted.

 

[Drew351]

My most wanted right now is Sant Joseph at least until I get it and then something else becomes my most wanted. LOL. That is the curse of this addiction.

Gulbun Fig Tree - One Green World

Gulbun fig is a super tasty melon flavored fig that we've really enjoyed. Main crop figs are fairly early and will usually ripen here in Western Oregon.

I'll prob order from them down the line I dont want to bother trying to root one myself

I just saw this on Kremp - Pretty sure it's the same fig? https://www.kremp.com/collections/fig-trees/products/galbun-fig

 

[SpiritFarmVa]

To me, Dalmatie and Stella are synonyms

I’d be interested in thoughts from everyone.
Is Dalmatie a type or variety?
And Stella is a Dalmatie type fig?

 

[SpiritFarmVa]

Santa Gertrudis is a compelling variety we don’t have yet. Sicilian 33 and white baca aren’t really compelling until they are more widely( and affordably) available.
Mario’s #50 cassa di lazzaro (sp?) would be another we would like at some point soon.

So for I’d be of the opinion they are the same and that Galbun is the correct spelling.

 

[Figsee]

My most wanted right now is Sant Joseph at least until I get it and then something else becomes my most wanted. LOL. That is the curse of this addiction.

This is a new one for me. I purchase sant mateu and sant Josep cuttings last fall so I’ll be excited to see what this season brings.

I see your future figs description says Gulbun and Dalmatie. Is Dalmatie and Stella the same thing? Interwebs is 50/50 on it.

No idea! All I know is my fav fig jam is dalmatie so if I can grow that fig it would be wonderful
