Kalamata Black

Never a ripe fig from this plant as they keep falling off despite me baby the plant, i was sitting on patio and decided to prune it even more and soon cut growing ends after another few sets of leaves like i normally do.

I'm still holding out hope for mine also.  I have figlets on it now.  Just wondering what happens if you cross a Zidi and a Kalamata in the Northeast?  Do you then get a fig producing tree?  I guess I'm holding on to them just because I like their names but it would be nice to get a fig too.  I have some curled leaves on some of my figs.  I'm not sure what it is?  Doesn't seem to be like FMV.

Martin,

Maybe it is time to ship this RARE fig (very possibly of the Smyrna type) to

somebody in CA where the fig-wasp thrives....

Tom mine has FMV along with the leaves display also in the figs which is not commonly talked about only in few writings i come across and picture i saw of fig fruit specimen from oversea's that Bass linked to in past .

George im quite the hard head as i age and will give it more time .   ; )
