Figs of 2011

Here are some of my figs from this year with some unknowns thrown in.
Pictures 1-2 : Colisanti white/green, not too sweet but nice enough flavour. 
Pictures 3-4 : an unknown italian, bright red pulp but only really good if soft.
Picture 5 : A seedling found in the pepper greenhouse at work
Pictures 6-7 : Another fig, I bought from Cannadale Nursery and planted it last year in ground first time for figs, I already took more than half off.
Pictures 8&13-14 : Unknown Italian Fig, very vigorous and the mother tree has lots of tasty purple figs.
Pictures 9-10 : The Colisanti white/green fig tree again
Pictures 11-12 : Black Maderia, first year and growing fairly well I would say, I am just nervous for Winter.

I will post some more later of the rest of my trees, thanks for looking and feel free to comment especially if you know what the unknowns are.

no pics

Chivas,

If you attached pictures to your original post using the 'upload' feature of the forum there is a bug with the forum which will kill all the pictures if you go back and do a 'normal' edit of your post.

This is a problem with Websitetoolbox's forum.

To resurrect your pics, click the 'edit' link in the bottom right-hand corner of your post, click 'go advanced' button, then click 'save' to re-save your post.  After that, don't edit it again, or else you need to follow this process again.

Hopefully they are showing up now.

They are showing up......Thanks for posting.

they look good chivas....i am sure you will be fine

go have a drink and enjoy them and the chivas
 :-)

Chivas, thanks for posting the pics. I also have the colasanti white and its got unique leaves dont really have anything else like it. Also seems to be fmv free I have never noticed any markings on any leaves.


PS your 8-13 pics look identical to my colasanti dark fig. Extremely vigorous and taste extremely good. One of my favorite tasting figs.

Some more,
Black Mission, Celeste, Negronne, Panache, Panache and another Panache, Suspected Red Scilian I planted in ground, close up of the RS leaf, UCR 291, Unknown long white figs, Unknown long white tree, VdB, VdB and Celeste and a White Genoa.

That Colisanti black you are talking about, I'm not sure if they still sell it, I got it from a friend of a friend type deal and so far I tried to ripen the figs with Olive Oil but they didn't taste the same as last year, and the mother tree didn't do so well I was told.  Most of my trees have FMV but the surprise was the Black Mission, Negronne and White Genoa, they were fine in the shade and then when I brought them into full sun they showed symptoms.

If you notice in the background of picture number 7 of my original post, behind the shed you can barley make out it is my Neighbors' giant Fig tree ( I say giant because here in Southern Ontario it is in ground and the others I see around town are maybe a 1/4 of the size)  I think it is Celeste, similar leaves, long stem on the fruit, one crop per year of dark figs.
