Hello Art-
Nice that you got to taste "Bryant Dark" figs. I predict better days will be coming for your tree, as it ages.
It's a good, solid, producer, and will set figs on green wood that's only one season old, so if it dies to the ground you might still get some figs off newly sprouted stems. I just grew a 5 ft. tree from a sucker that started back in April-May-'14...and I had to pinch off all the figs. The sucker started from the base of an older section of a rooted chuck of wood, and very quickly outgrew the original plant. I separated, and potted up the rooted sucker and had to up-pot twice within a few months. It now is planted in a 20 gallon nursery pot, and the tree at least 5 ft tall, and has a 1" + diameter trunk. It produced baby figs at every leaf node. Next season I will be chowing down on some good figs. Maybe some breba, also. Figs will be about the size of a "Black Mission" when the tree starts to settle down.
I love the apricoty-berry, flavor, with the slightly acidic, tongue-buzz at the finish. It is one fig that I can eat until I get sick. Just sweet enough, and not cloying, like some other figs.
Good luck with your trees.
Frank
