hey grant - looks great
any of these in ground?

Your unknown yellow has interesting leaves. I would like to find out the name of it.
Where did you get it?

Hi Eli, none of them are in ground.
most are in pots, sunk a few inches into ground to give the roots growing room for the summer.

hey green fig, I got the unknown yellow from a forum member,,, not all of the leaves in the pic are fig leaves, I have allowed some mint to grow up around the pots to keep the pots shaded from the sun, keeps watering down, and roots cooler.

Oh, my bet, that was mint :)
I didnt notice the fig leaves, the photo was too big for the screen.

Looks like you will have a good tasting this year Grant, hopefully they all ripen for you in some heat.

Hope you get them ripe and don't lose any.

Thanks Chivas, hopefully we do get more heat than we have been having. That would sure help them ripen. Except for the panache which is a few weeks behind what it was last year and does need longer to ripen, they should all do fine.
Thanks for the good wishes Bob, so far no critters to speak of have taken any notice of them. 

My Panachee is behind as well this year, very slow, even the Black maderia is ahead of it right now.

My RdB is behind. Best so far is Marva Sika - larger than penny size. Perhaps Bass can chimed in on Marva Sika regarding its main crop earlyness. Other dark small to medium size figs showing kernel size main crop are Dark Portuguese, Sal's, Hardy Chicago, Natalina, Ginoso, VdB, Aubique Petite, Rosetta & St Rita.

@Grant -- you are most welcome to cuttings of Longue d'Aout if your MM is not what it is. The MM is Longue d'Aout. My MM came from Adriano & it
is similar to Slocan & Longue d'Aout.

Paully,
Thank you for the offer of cuttings.
If the tree turns out not to be  MM, once life settles down for me here, I would love to have some cuttings.

@Grant = I will air layer Longue d'Aout as a standby just incase.
