I am totally new to figs and obtained all my varieties from Rich who is a member of the forum and actually introduced me to this forum. I typically grow orchids and other plants but got addicted to figs this year after one that I had gotten last year sprung out of dormancy this spring and is thriving. Unfortunately it did not produce this year but I am sure that its from my total lack of knowledge. Hope to learn a lot from the forum.

Paul...    

Welcome to the forum, there is a wealth of knowladge to be found here. retaining it all is the problem as there is so much.

what kind of fig tree do you have? can you post pics. where are you lcated growing zone etc.

Paul, welcome to the forum. I met your friend a couple weeks ago when he visited down my way. Nice guy.

Welcome!  Unless you're in the Southern Hemisphere it's still early.

Hi Paul.  Welcome.  I am new here too.  Everyone is very nice and helpful.  There is alot to learn.  And now I want more fig trees!!!  I never realized how many varieties there are.  Happy gardening!

 Welcome Paul you are going to be happy here!!.................

Thanks for the welcomes. I am in zone 6a and live in Rhode Island. I posted the pictures and hope they post properly considering this is my first time posting pictures. Picture #3 is the one that I have had since last spring and has come out of dormancy without fruiting. The other pictures are figs that Rich has provided to me and even though they have tags in the pictures each tag has several names because he was unsure 100% what types they are. The ones that are producing I cannot take credit for because this is how I got them from Rich.

That's a good start Paul

im in zone 6b illinois i have some trees with little figs on em, one with some larger figs on, and many that have yet to put any out. its still early bud. just hang in there you may have figs before to long.

Welcome Paul . You'll be making a lot more space and room to grow your figs now !! 

Welcome to forum from near Chicago.

can't never have enough fresh figs.. welcome to the forum. 

Welcome to the forum and that's a very good start.  This is a great place to learn.

goss

"Welcome!  Unless you're in the Southern Hemisphere it's still early. "

Not totally true :), I just bought and ate some CA grown figs today. Of course the quality is not as good as home grown and peak ripeness, but it was decent.


Anyway welcome to the forum Paul_D!

Hi Paul, glad to know a fellow Rhode Islander is online here. I'm in Portsmouth, where are you?

Welcome. The information here is staggering, and all are very helpful.

Mike

Welcome Paul

Welcome.

Ok now that I have these figs is there anyway to correctly identify them or should I just be happy that I have fig trees and they are doing well?

Welcome Paul.

Paul, The unknown figs I gave you came from Jose in NJ which he picked up from a friend who was moving. Their identity was lost along the way BUT according to Jose they could be Marseilles Black, Mission, Celste, Dwarf Portuguese and/or Pinot de Miel. As they grow and bear we may be able to identify.

Thanks Rich,

  I was looking at the varieties last night on the forum according to what was on the tags Rich and you are right. Once they bare fruit it should be easier to identify. I am just happy to have these plants no matter what type they are.
