I like your remarks Martin. A lot of time, effort, learning, money, help from forum members, failures, frustrations, successes, go into growing figs. They are our babies. My fig trees are usually in need of a haircut and the potted trees are in about 2 sizes smaller pots than what they should be in. The burn pit is a difficult trip to make especially when one finds out that beautiful tree is a Smyrna type or a Capri fig three years after growing it from a cutting. I have 3 Kalamata trees that are probably candidates, Zidi and Milco too, the Milco had nice size figs and they all aborted. You do have that magic green thumb Martin, but the threat of being fired may help. Maybe being specialized in dark figs helps. :). All of the fig trees I have from you are doing well.
