Excellent photos.  One of my potted Pretos are trying to break dormancy right now.  It's very anxious to get started!

Thanks Art!

Mine is doing great, so far I just counted 18 figs/figlets on my Figo preto that I started as a cutting in July. Currently it's 3ft tall, very healthy. Its more productive than anything else that I got started around the same time. As far as I can tell it's showing no signs of FMV, nice dark green leaves. Hopefully I get a few to ripen in a month or so.

Thanks gardencrochet. Your figs look great. Do they always drip honey like that?

Thank you for your kind comments Figgysid1. They always do drip honey as soon as they become ripe. This cultivar is so delicious! It blows out the water many other fancy cultivars out there. If anyone can get their hands on it. Don't think twice! :)
