I finally put some pictures online of Jon, Darcy, Harvey, Frank and I documenting the figs at UCD in Sept 2008.

There are lots of pictures of the fig orchard including a nice image of a Black Ischia. There are several pictures of the greenhouses surrounded by new fig trees and a few other miscellaneous pictures.

Sue,
many many thanks for posting the pictures and the "chart " which i will save. Oh im somewhat embarrased now to even put up a picture of my trees now after seeing those!

I was very interested in ischia black and the madeira tree .
Those 2 are nice and gives me hope in what i would like to do with those 2 types of fig plants.
I must say Jon in 1 of those pictures looks like he is rubbing 1 foot and the 1 next to it looks like he ate his share of figs and started to dooze off!
Just had to add that little pun  ; )
Again thanks so much for shareing those pictures i enjoyed them very much.
One more thing if you do not mind answering when you have the time, what surprised you the most in your venture thru the grounds?

I just realized this week, when answering the question about UCR 271-1 that I had never posted the pix taken last summer. I have them all ready, and loaded on the server, but I never coded them into the galleries, so started on them last night. I think there are around 800 pix, not counting the pix of leaves, which I definitely haven't done yet. Hopefully will have the galleries done within a week.

Nice Pictures
Nice presentation!

...One more thing if you do not mind answering when you have the time, what surprised you the most in your venture thru the grounds?...

I think what impressed me the most is the shear vastness of the orchards in general. There were orchards of walnut and other nut trees as large as the fig orchard shown, stone fruit in another area, pomegranates, grapes, etc. Seemed to go on for miles.

Just thinking that within these huge orchards most trees/plants were a unique cultivar blew my mind. Amazing.
