--- Black Mission TJ seedling airlayers

That's funny. I keep seeing on the main page that the last post was done by Calvin but inside the thread I see none, for 15 hours.
Is this a software bug?...

I noticed a delay in some things yesterday.  Nice fig! :)

It is a beautiful fig!  Some of that blueness is, if I'm not mistaken, because you're using an LED light.  The ones used the most tend to have a bluish cast which can cause a small amount of fluorescence from some of the antioxidants in the skin.

Maybe next year you can do a big a/l for me and send it when its dormant but full of figs (a few) so I can haz wasp.  I'll gladly pay postage plus.  Even if it's not persistent I can use it as a source.   Thanks for thinking about it!

Bob,
I will keep in mind the a/l. The one pictured in 1 gal is already claimed and flying East when the weather gets warmer.

The fig dropped the leaves finally and now it looks kind of funny :)
On the other hand, almost every node has a tiny figlet.
I wish my regular figs were so productive.

Beautiful Mamme Capri figs Igor, they will pass the Wasp colonies into Profichi, which you see bellow (tiny ones) in early Spring. Profichi is the type of Capri that will pollinate your eatable female figs. I hope you didn't Air-Layer the top of the tree, that will end the life of the Wasp colony, LOL

Beautiful color indeed!

Aaron,

Yes, the top 3 feet is being airlayered too, please see the photos at the top of the thread. It is too tall otherwise.
It is amazing that 2 years ago this tree was a seed!

I do not think it will do anything to the fig production though.
On the contrary, after the AL was setup, the plants started growing better!

ok, i see it... the Profichi are safe... along with Mamme on top of them.
I'll take the AL thank you !

No, the AL is mine :)
It is special to me, my first baby fig and it is reliably producing!

Aaron, get in line  :)

Congratulations, Igor!

OL, I don't blame you Igor.
I feel that way with my 7year old tree which is from a seed that finally fruited this year...i'm AL-ing it and no one will get it.
