Lemon, last year growth 6/22/14

First fig of the season was a Lemon fruit from last year's growth (breba?). Large, sweet but skin a little thick and tough. Dropped off the tree on its own. Shape has a long, thick neck compared to main season fruit which has hardly any neck at all. I've paid more attention this year to determine if there was a distinction between main crop and breba (or whether the "breba" was really just last year's fruit that went into dormancy and would have otherwise fruited late season). But seems to be a significant difference.

If you ever get down my way I have a small Battaglia Green I will give you.

Fantastic collection you've amassed, Blake. Is that all just this year?!?  Battaglia keeps alluding me. As does the free time to make it down towards your area. If you still have Battaglia available later this year and looking to part with one, I'll be happy to pay. You have every cultivar I have to trade. Hopefully next year the first years all be big enough to air layer. How's your MBVS's coming along? Mine are still tiny after many months.

Yes I put this together this year minus 4 varieties. I had a couple of members sell me some cuttings at really reasonable prices and I got some off of Ebay too.....my mbvs's are still teenie as well. I feed them rain water only and some diluted fertilizer every now and then...some stuff grows faster than others I guess. I have it in a decent sized pot so shipping would suck to pay. I could meet you at Petals one weekend. I'm always looking for an excuse to go back!!
