I love when fig skin cracks. Growing up it was a good indicator for me of which figs were ripe at my grandparents house 😅☺️

[@cjr4497]

Hollier is a fairly common last name in Louisiana. It is pronounced "Ole-YAY"

[@jamesfrederick.]

That fig has swag

[@NurseryEnterprises]

Hey Ross, thank you for giving your time and effort for figs. They stand out as maybe the most worthwhile fruit tree that we can grow in the U.S. I know that's subjective, but hey, when you're right, you're right.

[@ArabicOrchard]

Thanks for sharing, good looking fruit

[@brianrodrigue6821]

The h is silent….I agree. One of my best

[@kwlweapons]

Probably holding up better to the rain due to it getting more established in the ground. Definitely looks like an lsu winner worthy of adding to the collection.

The H is silent….I agree one of my best

[@odomshomestead]

Hey Ross have you seen a Violetta De Bordeaux with two leaf patterns I have one that was sold to me as Violetta De Bordeaux with two leaf patterns

[@RossRaddi]

It has 3 leaf patterns actually.

[@odomshomestead]

@@RossRaddi ok thank you

[@sunnysharma1701]

Is green michurinska getting ripe yet Ross? I think dalmatie might do well in that low light area too.

[@RossRaddi]

I disagree about dalmatie. No Green Michurinska this year. The tree was too crowded with branches. I did not thin it enough.

[@bigkeith500]

I'm from Louisiana trying to find the different variety of figs. Where do you buy all of the LSU varieties from?

[@nanao5269]

I want to buy cuttings from you for Hollier and black or blue celeste. where do I do this

[@RossRaddi]

On figbid. There's a link in the description to what I have available for sale. Quite a few more trees will be listed in the coming weeks.

[@thatguyty96]

Hey Ross, may i ask where you sourced this hollier from?

[@RossRaddi]

Check my spreadsheet.

[@pureluck8767]

Umm where can I get this fig? I have a spot on my patio that only get late afternoon sun in the summer and shade in fall to spring! And another spot that gets half sun in spring and summer

[@RossRaddi]

I'll have some trees of this one in a couple weeks I imagine. Cuttings are sold in December if you want to go that route.

[@pureluck8767]

@@RossRaddi yay!

[@johnmeale2875]

That great Ross if only these figs werent so expensive. Not interested in spending $50 or greater for a fig tree.

[@RossRaddi]

Don't know what to tell you. Things are getting more expensive. Especially fruit trees. Not just figs. $50 is pretty reasonable for a fruit tree nowadays.

[@danielsmith336]

Start them from cuttings. Join figbid or wait for Off The Beaten Path's annual cutting sale in a couple of months. Don't chase the flavor of the month variety and have patience and you can find plenty of great deals on figs.

[@mashafasha5796]

50$ for a fig tree (depending on pot size) is perfectly normal asking price. Newer or more sought after varieties are going to cost 2-5x that.

[@happity]

I think it may be more like "all-yay".

[@thatguyty96]

its ool-yay
