Guess I could give all you folks the web address to Oregon
Exotics. http://www.exoticfruit.com/
They don't have an online catalog (yet? - it's been over a year since they
put up their web page and still no online catalog) but you can order a
printed catalog online. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in #1)
edible plants, #2) exotic plants #3) historical plants get one of their
catalogs! They are very interesting to read. Very impressive
collection! I finally got to order 2 fig trees from them. They are still
dormant, so I won't get to see their leaves until Spring. But I'm excited
about them! One is a Seedless Jelly Fig, which I'm hoping will appeal more
to my children, as they claim not to like the seeds in figs. I love the
flavor of a fresh fig!! Never had one until a couple years ago, and ever
after that I just HAD to have a tree! So I got one tree with seeds and one
without.
