George, it can get out of hand for sure! Same with wine grapes!
So many varieties, and I have been to wineries who think they have something special, and then I say, "Oh would love to taste your Charbono! We grow that variety too!" They are shocked, but they always pour, and I love that Charbono! Alaciante Bouchette is another rare breed! It makes wine so deep red and rich, the bootleggers watered it down and sold it in prohibition. We grow that one too!
This might be my last year to collect. We have the property, and it's time to get down to work, and enjoy the fruits we can grow! Oh, and that nice previous owner planted apples, blood oranges, navel oranges, lemons, limes, apricots, plums and peaches. We'll be bringing ruby red grapefruit and valencia oranges, along with all the figs and wine grapes!!
In ground figs should provide a lot of cuttings, so next year might be my year to pay back! :-))
