    This listing is for 2 cuttings of RDB A great fig for growing in ground just about anywhere.  It is an early ripening variety that grows extremely fast for me.  The figs are great, dark berry flavor, and a circular shape.  Its only downside is that it can split when there is excessive rain/moisture.
