Here's another one I got a photo of today, it was nice and ripe. For some reason the forum are displaying my photos as if they have shadows in them?

Wow Frank, you have some decent varieties this year, I do not have this variety, please give a review, I may have to get one unless it is close in taste of another variety that I might have. Are your plants in the ground or in pots, because you are doing a good job with getting them to ripen and I know it got cold in Alabama last winter. Good luck and good growing.

Hey Wayne, thanks for the kind comments! My Figs are about half and half, In ground and In pots. Everyone of my Fig Trees in the ground was killed to the ground...Some of them shot up this year 8 ft. tall, but some gave very few Figs because of the Winter freeze. The only one I had to die was "Peter's Honey"......I had mulched them with hay at the base and put nugget type mulch over the hay. You are right about us getting cold, one nite it was 7 degrees, The coldest I have ever seen it and I am 66 years old.....Thanks Frank from Bama __________________ Frank from Bama- Zone 7-b Alabama ....................................................

Hey Richie, They don't get real big but they have a great taste once they grow a season!

Looks great! __________________ Wish list: Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important: YOUR FAVORITE FIG. A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

Frank, Looks good. I am trying to grow a Makedonia Dark in a small pot. Will probably bring in the the garage in a few weeks. Glad to see you are getting figs. I have my fingers crossed for next year. __________________ Max Roswell, Georgia Zone 7b
