Almost 2 years ago my wife and I spent an incredible 10 days in the most beautiful place in the world. If you have not had the good fortune of seeing the Amalfi Coast up close and personal, please, please, please put this at the top of your bucket list. You will not regret it. In fact, you will be rejuvenated. 

My wife made a wonderful video of our villa, which I highly recommend watching for a hint of what we experienced.

What's this got to do with figs? 

Well... along the narrow winding highways, high above the coastline where birds soar and then poop, you will find wild fig trees growing in the most precarious places.

Somehow, a twig from one of these trees found its way into my suitcase. I was in a fugue from the overwhelming coastal beauty, so I have no memory of the event.

Two years later....

I have no idea what type of fig it will mature into. I was hoping for a boy....I mean a black fig but I will love whatever nature decides.

Question: Did the bird that planted the tree eat a caprified fig pollinated by the fig wasp? If so, should it be producing figs in Tallahassee? 

I have been to Amalfi, and it is one of my favorite places in the world!  Love Positano!  Those cliffs are precarious for sure, but the scenery is spectacular!

Congrats on bringing home a piece of Amalfi!

Nice video, good looking tree. I see the figs forming on the tree, have you gotten ripe figs from this tree in the past? Interesting that a twig would fall directly into yoru suitcase, lol

FMD,

Even figs that require caprifiaction will develop to about half size before falling off. You'll know soon. Good luck!

That's why I asked if you'd gotten ripe figs before. If not, as Ruben says, they may fall off if they need capirfication. I gather from your response that you haven't yet. I hope they do ripen for you.
