How you do that !!! Thanks dave

Rich look for a GIF photo for instance google  Congratulations GIF save the one you like and post it like a photo Fig tips Computer tips, I love Figs4fun 

Yes! Figgy presents are the best from great figgy friends! Enjoy!

Thank you, Richie, for giving it a good home. I hope it survived de-potting and shipping. Greenfig gave me several El Molino cuttings last winter to practice rooting. It was my first time propagating figs. They all rooted and grew really tall over the summer. I have one tree planted in the ground already and others for back up, so needed to find homes for the extras. I did a brief post on this forum, and they were all gone within the hour. Sharing trees and cuttings is so much fun! 

Very nice of you, Mara!!  Richie, it is a nice gift.  So many kind people!  Amazing!  So this is the true purpose of a fig tree maybe...to exude kindness?!

Yes isnt there a old saying "extend a fig branch "
Lol

I think it's "extend an olive branch or extend a fig leaf" but you make more sense Richie. Figs are better than olives and you can get more from branches than leaves. Good thought.

People are so generous on this forum.  I wish I hadn't lurked for years before joining. haha  Oh, Richi, I also just got some El Molino from a very generous forum member.  I am super excited to try this one as it said to be a superior tasting cultivar!!!

I put mine in greenhouse house. Going to wake it up and get a head start on fruiting.

Good luck with your El Molino trees!
I hope they do not disappoint! It is one of the best early figs I have tasted.
Please keep the updates coming , especially when there will be something to show :)

Soon as i have some fruit to show off i will. Lol.

Regarding the "showing off" and "head start" , me too.  I just got to get it to root first though.  A BIG THANKS to you Igor. :)
