It's hard to believe but I think I might end up with more Black Maderia than Negronne this year.  The Emerald Strawberry was off the radar but ended up producing a good amount of figs and giving me a chance to see how long I can keep them on the tree to get peek flavor.  The cooler temps are already changing the characteristics of the figs.  The Black Madeira skin seems tougher and a cold fig does not seem as sweet as a fig warmed in the sun.

tom, do these trees survive inground in 6b? or are they container plants?.

'm 6a, so i'm looking for tough trees to grow inground

Those look really good.

I might have to go outside to see what's for breakfast, though I doubt I'll find anything that yummy this morning. :)

A good "problem" to have, too many Black Madeira lol! Cooler weather sure is refreshing, but it's not very good for my Black Madeira which has not yet begun to swell

Cool weather?  It was 94 f yesterday and supposed to be as the same today. 

51 this morning, it's about 68 now

that bm looks tasty . hopefully next year I will try it. thanks for putting in all the time posting pictures and videos. really nice to see what the fig will look like.

I also had a watermelon chaser with my figs.

You are the master of patience.  Great pics

thanks for sharing.
