Brooklyn White ????

I received a batch of mixed cuttings from a gentlemen and I had success in rooting a few. However I was told they were possibly Brooklyn White cuttings but he did not label them and was confused.. From what I can tell they are Brooklyn White but would like your opinion.. This is a cutting from late last year in 2 gal pot with alot of figs.. I want to pick it tonight but I am going to wait until morning...

It does look like a Brooklyn white, but wait until it's very ripe before you pick it. It will get much sweeter when it's dead ripe.


Hi Bass.

I really need to get a camera and start posting pictures.  Sorry I don't have a picture.

But the Brooklyn White you sent has been a very strong grower.  In just a couple months it has increased 4 or 5 times in size.  And it's not even in an ideal location, as getting it later in the season, I had to put it toward the back of the bed, and it's not getting as much light as is ideal. 

Nonetheless, it is growing strong and looking most promising for a good first crop next year.

Hope you are well my friend.
