I don't expect these figs to taste good, but I'm letting them grow, none the same. :)

Ronde de Bordeaux
The first image below is a Ronde de Bordeaux.  Started rooting on 3/1, moved to cup on 4/3.  Had to move to 2gal pot on 4/13 due to roots growing too fast.  I put it in a 5 gal SWP about 3 or 4 weeks ago.  It has 45" of new growth from the original cutting.  I may have to put this one in a 20gal tub.  It just doesn't want to be contained! As of today, there are 3 tiny match head sized figs towards the top.

Texas White Everbearing
The second image is a Texas White Everbearing. And the little runt right behine and to the right is it's brother.  Both rooted in Feb, both moved to cups and then pots at the same time.  The runt had one 2" leaf for 3 months, while the bigger one grew like crazy.  About 2 weeks ago, the runt finally started putting out new leaves, while the bigger one has 2 big figs that should ripen in another month.

Peter's Honey
No picture of it yet.  I've had 2 different people that I've given Peter's Honey, that all came from the same batch, tell me they have a fig or two.  Now one of mine popped out a fig too.  They were rooted in February (the first cuttings I ever rooted).  I had 9 of these and gave away all but 2 so far.

LSU Tiger
No figs on this one.. just wanted to show it off.  It seems to be doing really well, where all my other LSU Tigers and Panache died off very quickly.


Aside from one strugging Marylane Seedless that I posted about in another thread, all my trees are doing wonderful!

I can't wait till next year so I can avoid some of the mistakes I made this year.

I don't blame you James.  I'd let them grow too.  Very nice growth!

Your trees look great James and I agree , I'd let them grow .

Yikes James that is some growth on that RdB!

Woohoo, James, I see you got Papaw's green thumb...well and Mom's too, I guess...lol.  My RdB is growing also, but not nearly like yours and no figs on it either.   Be sure to post pics of your figs when they are fully ripened. 

Good job I haven't seen anyones fig growing to beat that.

goss

Looking really good James.

typically i knock off all the figs on 1st cuttings. reason is so the cutting can use all its energy into top and root growth so it will have better chance of good figs next yr. having said that, some members do keep one or two figs to taste if growth is robust and the cutting looks like it will support the figs. i would knock 'em off anyway if the tree is extra precious to me.

Should I try to do an air layer on that RdB since it's growing so fast and tall?  I'm thinking right about where the lighter green truck starts getting darker..  If it roots out enough in a few weeks, it'll still have plenty of warm weather before it starts getting cold here in the Dallas area.
