Trying to locate Violeta in Europe - Ourfigs.

Jan 06, I want to add Violetta Bella - also another Lorusso fig. My friend bought few cuttings directly from Lorusso in I got the cutting directly from my friend. I'm growing it since Octit has already set the fig, not drop. It also has been changed the color, but still hard like a rock now. Jun 11, Late in the dormant season, after the danger of frost is past, take fig cuttings from small branches that are two to three years old.

They should be about ½ to ¾ inches ( cm.) thick, about the width of your pinky, and inches ( cm.) long. The bottom end cut should be flat and the tip tree removal vaughan. All packs contain at least 2 cuttings approximately 7 to 11 inches, with a minimum of 3 nodes.

This cultivar is common and does not require pollination. Read the description of the fig below! Process. Select the best looking and healthy fig tree branches and cut them off the tree with clean, sanitized pruning shears. Cut branch into pieces each consisting of at least four buds.

With a sharp knife remove about 2 cm of skin (bark) from the bottom of the cutting. Not to be confused with Francesco Lorusso’s “Violetta” which is entirely different. Figaholics: My Violeta came from someone who got it from Francisco in Portugal and, as Francisco stated on F4F, Violeta is believed to be the formal name for the figs also called Black Madeira and Figo Preto (and probably Madeira Island Black).I have never seen this accession at Wolfskill but don’t.
