Is Pete Cundari a member of this fig forum? Does he usually show up at the annual, Staten Island Fig Fest in September?
Interesting article. Thanks for the link. I'll read anything that has the word "fig" in it.

I wonder just how many of us can trace our passion for growing figs directly from either our ancestors, or, to the DiPaola Bros. @ Belleclare Nursery? I know my desire to grow fig trees was started by a very casual and very indifferent, 2007 visit to the old Belleclare Nursery. I went there out of curiosity. Although the nursery was on the wane and was soon to close, a friendly, and informative talk with Chris convinced me that I too, could grow a tree in a container. Up to that point I never realized that fig trees could be grown in containers. I went to the right place, at the right time. The rest is history.
I suppose I will continue to grow fig trees until I become organic fertilizer with trace elements.
