I was given a rooted cutting in late April this year by a fellow friend and forum member. By July plant had grown to 3ft and started growing figs. I was not expecting to taste any figs from this plant this year considering its only 6 months old but it surprised me, and cosidering weather has been cool and rainy the figs tasted quite good.  


First figs that ripened on Sept.24th

Nelson, looks like that's the variant from Lou. If so, good for you. I heard it is reliable & good. I have a small tree started from cutting this year.

Hey Paul yes Original source is Lou P. Our good friend Rafed was the one that gave it to me not sure if its going by another name now but thats what was writen on the cup so I did not change a thing. Fig tastes quite good an I had over 2 dozen figs on my tree this year but I picked off half seems like that did the job. Definate keeper

Nelson.........we should thank our southern fig friends (Rafed &Lou) for sharing this goodness, more so in our kind of zone. Mine came via Cecil. Thanks Cecil. Hopefully mine will bear next year.

Paul you absolutely right we are very gratefull to have such great neighbours. Thank you guys

Nelson congrats, that sure is a nice looking first year fig. I can't wait to get back home in a few days as I had some different figs starting to swell. From AZ (106*) high to all. Canyon next few days (80's-40*)

Good for you Nelson to have ripe fig now.
My figs came and went trees are resting now, i imagine you will be rooting scion this winter season  ?

Nelson,

It's great to see that it is doing well for you.

The funny thing is when I gave the fig tree I had also given to a couple of other members as well. Lou was kind enough to send me more than I can handle. But the ones I kept have since gone to fig Heaven.

Once again Lou was very kind enough to send me more and should start then next month or so.

He gave me a couple of other variants and they are doing well. I hope next year I will be posting their pics on the forum.

Thank you lou.

Thanks Sal I am impressed on how much this plant wants to please lol

Martin I have a few plants that are done for the season some of wich are already loosing leaves. But I have a few that are still ripening figs as we speak and most of them have been tasting quite good. Will I be rooting this winter well more than likely yes.


Rafed, this looks like a promising fig for cooler zones as does the pane vino white Im sure you will enjoy both. I cant wait to see how it will perform next season.

Mine was in its pot for the first full year and it surprised me as well with a ripe fig.  Very tasty.  Good grower, looks prolific.
