It doesn't get any better....

Nice looking fig

Frank...I have one of your N.J. Red's in my potted fig orchard...the tree is 1 1/2 yrs. old and starting to develop some small figs this year...I'm thinking maybe next year or the year after I will be enjoying some N.J. Red figs that look something like yours...thanks so much for the cutting.

How do they hold up with several days/weeks of rain?

Frank,

Your NJ red you gave me is doing well...next year maybe.  

Nice!

That is a beauty, Frank. I'd love to try it in CA, should cuttings be available come winter.

Looking good Frank
Can't wait for mine to fruit.

Very appetizing. I can eat a dozen. Thanks for the pic's.

They look great! I hope it yields a lot of that pesky wood for you to trim off and disperse.

Thanks everyone. I should have some cuttings in December for those who remind me. 

Wayne, NJ Red takes the rain really well. I have never had a problem with splitting/rotting. The birds are another story.


You may recall this is the tree that was run over by an SUV.

Good looking fig

Great looking fig there Frank.

My first roots hit the side of the cup yesterday! I am actually surprised how this one is taking longer than all my other cuttings to root, out of 4 NJR cuttings only one is in a cup so-far. The other 3 are still in the bags, looking good with no concern for decomposition, but still just minding their time. 7 of 8 cuttings from 2 different varieties started the same day as NJR are in cups with roots and varying levels of sprouts.

I am excited to be adding this one to the collection. I wonder how the original mother tree faired the polar vortex last winter?

Thanks again Frank!
