Maltese Beauty.   3 and half months of window sill growing seperates the first two photos.

Third photo shows the thickness of the stem.

Can't wait to taste this one.

Great job Dan, hope you get to enjoy it soon!

WOW

Dan, that looks really good. Hope mine does as well that.

Looks good, Dan.  I anticipate the day you pick the first one.

Nice job...that looks like a winner Dan

Thanks guys.

And Frank..... Your fig is a VERY strong grower as well. I cant wait for yours either.

Great to hear, Dan.  Looking forward to hearing how mine tastes compared to your other varieties.  I've no clue, since I haven't had but a couple flavors myself.

looking good :) i need one of those soon...

Had to repot.   Its growing like crazy.

are u watering or giving the plants espresso shots? :)

LOL, the coffee cup is there for size comparison.  Hoping to get 1 fig from it this fall.  The way it's growing, I just might.

Looks great, you've done a nice job getting  that one going 

nice job. that looks great.

It has three figs on it that I left.   It enjoyed the extra space I gave it.  Still growing like a weed.

I love this plant.  Hope it tastes as good as it looks.

i heard it tastes even better than i looks. sort of like Black Madeira, VdB, RdB, and all others rolled into one. 

All the old leaves on mine have curled now, I think because they were formed under low light and higher humidity they weren't accustomed to the hot dry weather had which is when it started as the new leaves are fine.  

Mine has been really productive even though it started as a cutting in November, I have had to knock off more than 20 figs and that's with 10 on it already and I see more coming, is this normal for this variety to be so productive in your experience?

Mine failed,
Looked to buy some more cuttings but George is unable for the time being.

Oh good ole Ebay;)  Just a matter of time.

Anyone have a plant for sale?

I got one cutting from Jon last Feb. Gnats killed mine. It had some roots and small leaves already.

Pete,

I'm drawing up a plan on how to keep the gnats away 100%.
I'll post my plan as soon as I have it all together. I will need opinions.

Rafed,

I hope it doesn't involve shotguns.

Beauty of a figlet Dan, very nice!

Funny, I was just thinking about Monty Python's mosquito hunt.  Think it involved a bazooka and a machine.

My wife sent me these photos. It did this almost overnight. They swelled and turned dark. I won't be back to the plant until Friday. With the heat we're now having, it should be closer. The next photo will be a harvested fig shot. 10 months from a 4" twig to this. I can't believe it.

Always and still a nice surprise when they do this .
