Now that I have my first airlayer of Negronne EL under my belt, there's no stopping me now.  I started some Ischia Black airlayers today and threw in another Negronne just for the fun of it.

You're in deep now.  Gone over the edge.  No hope for salvation.  Enjoy!

PS:  nice job.

Please keep us posted on the Ischia Black airlayer. If IB is difficult to root from cuttings, perhaps an airlayer might also be difficult. I wanted eventually to try doing that with my IB too.

Tmc, how old is your IB tree?

Depending on the progress, I might just leave them on until next spring. 

I'm waiting to see a fig person show up on one of those shows on hoarding with fig trees all over the place.

I can truly tell by first picture thats not Jons nor R.Watts and no one except
 UcDavis cultivar . To me its a thing of beauty.
Thanks for pictures.

This is the third year.  I ordered the cuttings from UCD 8/09

You go!

Question on the Negronne EL.  Does the EL stand for Edible Landscape?  Thanks.

EL = Edible Landscaping.

Gina - there is no such thing as difficult airlayering.  Airlayering is a thousand times easier than starting cuttimgs with 100% success rate for me so far, whereas I'm lucky to have 50-60% success with cuttings

So TMC tree is from uc Davis three years old and quite tall.  I thought from what I've read on this forum.  These cuttings don't grow so well do to FMV.  Maybe TMC has a secret.

Last year it grew quickly.  This year it has very little new growth and the leaves are smaller.  It does have more figs though.

Correct, EL is ediblelandscaping

I had one airlayer not take but that's because the ear wigs ate the roots on me.

Here are pics of the second tree.  I'm trying to ID source.  I thought I had a cutting survive from Encanto Farms order.  This plant started off weaker of the two but the more I look at it this year the more it's looking better to me than the other one.

Tom that one looks more like Jons to me.
