Well i ordered one fig tree this spring when i got the first fig and tasted my Little miss figgies fig i was hooked! Now approaching winter i have 20 different varieties growing but missing an I-258 I would really like to grow. I jumped in completely after tasting my first fresh fig. Not many people growing in. My area in fact i personally know of none. I have also started my first cutting a Chicago hardy.
I am in zone 8A Prattville Alabama 20 miles north of Montgomery.

I have an I258 which I purchased this spring as a cutting. I can't believe how much it has grown over 6ft tall and had 21 large sweet figs on it.

 

[Alabamafigs]

Where and who did you purchase the cutting from I am looking for a reputable source to add a I-258 fig to my collection

If things work out come spring I will be selling I 258, I 215, and Celeste cuttings. Jerzeybob@yahoo.com
