Norella is a Mt. Etna type fig that originally comes from Italy. There are many Mt. Etna varieties from which to choose, but Norella is especially loved for its heavy setting of figs that grow in clusters on its branches. Norella comes from the Calabria region of Italy where it was traditionally used for drying. These figs have strong attachment to the tree and can be left to dry there. They are naturally less juicy than other varieties, so drying only adds to their delicious concentrated dark berry flavor. Terms and Conditions: ***Please be sure to read our Terms and Conditions before purchasing cuttings*** When do we ship cuttings? We begin shipping cuttings once the trees are dormant and in storage. Exact timing is weather dependent, but we usually start in mid December. We continue to ship throughout the winter and early spring until the trees begin to break dormancy, normally around mid-March. Your cuttings will be cut to order to ensure freshness and provide the greatest chance of rooting success. Cuttings will be a minimum length of 8”, with at least 3 nodes, and will be thicker than a #2 pencil (many are sharpie thickness or greater). Our mother trees are stored in a climate-controlled environment to keep the trees dormant and healthy through the winter and early spring, and the cuttings are guaranteed to arrive in perfect, ready to root, condition.
