This is a variety that I'd rec'd cuttings of from Richard Watts a couple years ago. I kept a piece for myself but failed to get it to root. I gave the other piece to a friend of mine and he did, however, get one growing.

This year he got fruit from it. He said he took pics but I haven't gotten access to those yet. Is anyone else growing this one? I have to assume that this is not the same as Jon's Afghan A. I say this because Richard had them listed separately on his list at the time.

My friend also had Armenian set fruit for him right next to where he was growing the Afghan E. Because of this he couldn't recall which was which but that one of them was a "dry" fig. Also that one of them was a light fig and the other a dark. So, I can only assume that the Afghan E is the dark one since Jon shows the Armenian as a light yellow/green fig on his varieties page. 

This appears to be the only other thread with the Afghan E in the thread topic:

Any new information and pictures on this variety would be most helpful. I will try to get some pictures from my friend but it may take a little while. He can only get dial-up internet where he is. I may have to pay him a visit with a thumb drive in hand in order to get those pics loaded onto my computer.

Hi Bill,

Yes, I still have my Afghan-E. It grows super slowly for me and very hard to root from cuttings, I have not seen any figs on this tree.
At this time of the year the tree is dormant already.
I am planning to up pot it next spring hoping to get at least one fig… I will let you know on the progress.

Bill, I have Afghan E. But it is a slow grower. However, I am confident it will fruit for me next year. Email me in 2014.

thanks,

Thanks for the replies. It's good to see that others have this one growing. My buddy has the advantage of growing his in a greenhouse. It was about 4' before he just pruned a little off of it. After sticking a few of the cuttings for himself I ended up with a few also. I'll see what I can do about getting this one going for myself now :-) .

So, nobody out there with pictures of Afghan-E?
 

Bill,

Did you ask R. Watts about the fig color/quality of this A-E plant by any chance?

He sent me a picture. I'll see if I can find it.

I may have asked Richard about this fig when I first ordered it but I sure don't recall what his reply might have been. Yes, I suppose I could get back to him for some input but that would make too much sense now wouldn't it :) ?

Sounds good Dennis. Good to know that he does have some pics of it. I'll wait a bit to see what pans out here before I get back to Richard about it.

Thanks guys.
