Anyone in Melbourne want to share a Daley's order?

Hi Fellow Fruit Growers,
I'd like to buy a White Adriatic fig tree from Daley's, but one tree is going to cost a packet in freight.
Any Melbournians in the southern suburbs thinking of ordering anytime soon?
If so could we share a carton?
Violet,

I saw some White Adriatic figs at a nursery in Coburg last year. They have a lot of fruit trees supplied direct from Daleys - it might be worth your while to check it out before you do a mail order for a single tree, maybe they'll even order one in for you. If you can find Dan Murphys in Coburg, (from memory it is on the corner of Munro and Walker St) - it is almost directly opposite down a little side street, run by an elderly European couple. Also Poyntons of Essendon have a large variety of figs if you want to shop around.

Hi Violet,

If you want to have a cutting, we have a white/yellow fig tree at home. Not far from Coburg.

Hi Sampa -
I'd love a cutting, thank you!
Is it a White Adriatic?
I'm in the southern suburbs. Maybe I could send you a stamped self-addressed envelope. My email address is angavar (at) yahoo.com

Hi Phil@Tyalgum,
Google tells me the nursery run by the European couple might be
"Munro Street Nursery
21-25 Munro St, Coburg VIC 3058, Australia(03) 9386 0491‎"
Would that be right?

And the 'Poyntons of Essendon' website looks very inviting. I'll have to drop in for a tree-browse next time I'm over that way.

Thanks for those two leads, Phil. Looks like you as a Queenslander know more about Melb. nurseries than I do!

Yes I think that's Munro St, also I think it is Vassili's nursery, who had his gardening show on SBS a couple of years ago. Good luck.

Hi Violet,
I think its white adriatic. It has white/yellowish skin and very sweet compared to our purple one.

I'm back... lost track of this thread and I've just *now* received an email from Daley's with all the updates for a MONTH!

Does anyone else get those update emails so far apart?

Hi Sampa, are you still here?
