Today I visited a tree I started as a 6" cutting a 13 months ago in the caribbean island of trinidad. It is now at least a 10 ft tree with several figs. What I get in 3 years growth it only took a year here.

Here's the figs.
Congratulations on being in the Caribbean! I love it there. Do you snorkel or dive?What kind of fig is it?
Nice!
This one in particular is Salem white, but I have exported several varieties, will be checking the trees at a farm tomorrow. They require frequent pinching and pruning to induce branching and bearing year round.
Bass,I'd take a wild guess and say Trinidad has 10 or 11 months of growing season per year versus maybe 5 months in Bethelem, PA. I think you need to move to a longer growing season. Maybe Jon will adopt you???
