First Black Madeira for this year about a month earlier than last year. 2 year old tree in 55 gallon SIP
Delicious !!!

Wow! Great job with the crazy growth. Fruit looks tasty. I've also tasted my first one from a tiny first year. Do you detect a smokey/heavy/complex flavor in the syrup as well?

Beautiful plant!

getting my first black madeira fig tree looking forward to trying them

How nice to be eat the BM a month early.

Hello Pete, would you mind sharing the source of your Black Madeira. I am trying to compare it to my Black Madeira growing out here in Southern California. Thanks in advance.

55 Gal SIP's... Nice but it looks like you have a bunch and those babies will quickly eat up space, Can I ask what you do for space amangement to accomodate a collection of fogs in large containers? GH or otherwise?

@Figinfever- Thanks, the figs were wonderful, flavor rich and complex

@Garlic_Mike- Thank you!

@rogerfwright- you're going to love this one, it lives up to all the hype

@tinyfish- yes, pleasantly surprised to have them ripened this month

@Devlsgro- Thanks! I love the SIPs, saves a lot of time in watering, on the trees with a thick canopy watered 3-4 days apart the smaller ones once a week.

@Gardencrochet- my in ground mother tree came from Keith(KK)

@tsparozi- trees are kept in the garage for the winter

Beautiful Peter. I'm still hoping to get a ripe one here

Thanks Coop hope they ripen for you. Here's my Dominick's

Looks fantastic, Pete.

Where did ya get those 55 gallon drums?!

Thanks Ross, I got them from a neighbor who also grows figs in them.

Man they look good. I'm jealous:)

Brett, come on up my offer still stands

Pete, Nice Looking tree, Like You described it at the Staten Island Fig Fest. was Pleasure meeting you with the other Figaholic members...

I had enough Black Madeira for fig jam for the first time. I'll be interested to see if the taste carries over.
Here's 3 BMad with one CDD Noir.  

Scott, I've been told that BM is a very slow grower, and that Preto is identical but
a much faster grower. I'm looking to buy one of these, which one would you recommend
and why? Thanks
