figs galore, and my cuttings spouted


This is the fig i got 
from a cutting i took 3 yrs ago
at a deserted property for sale by the city.
There were 3 fig trees and 4 citrus, and a couple of other things
it appeared the guy who owned it had kept up the trees and soil etc...

i had 2 fruit last year, and they were poor
but, ive had 7 to 8 this year (squirrels had a few also)
and now its putting out more. - a LOT more - LOL
i can just see when this thing it 12 yrs old...

very tasty, not super-sweet, but, sweet enough
and great texture.

this is that cutting, and another i got from a neighbor
also no ID...

Just wondering about the growth pattern of these 2
they seem quite different...
the Black Mission doesnt seem to have a main leader to grow from
will it produce one ?
its from the middle of a branch that broke off.
the end part died.

another $2 plant from Lowes.
not growing as fast
i may have planted it too deep ?
or, something ate the leaves off of one branch...

Hi Figpig
would be more than happy to trade cuttings.
obviously air-layer would take more time.
cutting start for me very easily (on fig anyway) maybe its the humidity here ?
so, i dont do airlayers regularly on fig.

PM me with address etc...

i have better pics, a bit older though, here...

someone said it may be Brunswick

Stella, Vasilika Sika , and Dalmatie are also names ive seen used
on figs with long fingers, though i know very little about them.

Richie, you are from Hickory La. ?
My mother is from Cottonport. Father is from Big Bend...
lots of relatives in the area
spent a lot of time there as a kid.

Can you still smell Bagas driving down the street ?
i always thought that stuff would make great compost.
wish i had a truckload right now... LOL.
