Makedonia Dark

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

Looks good.

Thanks for another post of your figs. I just,ate one yesterday. It is the first fig from my tree and first time sampling it. Was strange tasting. Like a orange almost. Sweet too. What did you think. It was small also

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

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.
