I believe many folks here were once users of the forum at figs4fun. The forum there is now defunct (shut down by owner for reasons I don't care to get into), and that was disappointing to many folks. Of course, there are many other places we communicate and share information with one another but the historical value of 10 years of information appeared to be lost. A couple of friends of mine worked on archiving the forum. One was done after the desktop version could no lon...ger be viewed and it backed up a mobile view at archive.org. Another friend who had been a member at F4F had started earlier and, after much work, put together an archive of the desktop view at http://figs4funforum.arghchive.com/ (remember, this is an archive, not an active forum that you can log into). It contains a script he created for a search function to find posts in the archived forum. Looks great!
Here is the link to the other friend's archive.org backup of the mobile version:

Another reminder to check out the new auction site set up by a friend of mine, a fellow fig collector, called figBid. Presently it is only set up for U.S. transactions, but that may change in the future. I just put up another listing there with a Buy-It-Now price for last minute Christmas shopping! https://www.figbid.com/…/Martinenca-Rimada-cuttings-pruned-…

We just listed an eBay auction for 2 cuttings of the highly sought after variety Paratjal Rimada. I've been contacted about this several times and our tree is just now going dormant. For this auction, U.S. shipping only. I sold this variety on my web site last winter and sold out in a couple of hours and, since I started mys ales at about midnight, all buyers of it were outside of the U.S. so now it's their turn. 3 Day auction

Hello friends, we presently have a grafted Ischia Black tree https://www.ebay.com/itm/272958210357 on eBay, available for buyers with a U.S. address. Auction ends Saturaday. This is the last tree we have ready for sale at this time but do have some cuttings rooting now (we pruned off some green cuttings before that wood is damaged by frost).
We do not ship trees outside of the U.S. but will once again be offering cuttings again in late January and those are available for export. We not "book" (pre-sale) take reservations and we won't decide on prices until January after we're finished pruning. At the present time, most trees still have leaves on them but they are starting to go dormant.

Some more end of season surprises today, some very nice ripe Black Madeira were waiting for me. Even after heavy rains two days ago and cool weather, the flavor was excellent.
I got lucky and actually found a few ripe and very good Ischia Black today, to my surprise. Flavor was very good, which is amazing after the cool weather we've had and 2+ inches of rain over the past two days. We will be getting frost soon so this is the end for this year.
We had some heavy rains over the past couple of days (2 inches or so) and some cool weather, but found one last ripe fig on a White Madeira #1 tree. Flavor wasn't as good as a month or so ago but still quite good, especially considering the rain and cool weather. Looking forward to many more next year.
Four new auctions of trees for buyers with U.S. addresses are on eBay:
