Takoma Violet

Welcome to Coastal Fig company.

My name is Craig.  Thanks for supporting my business.  I started growing figs back in 2015 when I met Bill Lauris of Off the Beaten Path Nursery in Lancaster from his Craigslist add.  I consider Bill a friend and one of the most knowledgeable in the field of figs and unique edibles. 

I grew up with the Bible and studied it in college.  I even lived in Israel and participated in an Archaeological dig in Ashkelon.  Figs and unique fruit excite me and my family. I have 8 children under 9 so  I don’t always have time to post long details but if you have a question ask.

Mt Etna fig found in Takoma MD by Gene Hosey’s friend Kathleen.  Sets a good breba crop, very cold hardy and early ripening around 80 days.  
 

I believe I got my Takoma from Herman. 

This is a newly rooted cutting.  It is in the greenhouse so is hardened to the sun and controlled outdoor conditions.
