My 16 month old Aubique Petite!

Hello all, just wanted to share my 16 month old Aubique petite that I rooted from cuttings purchased on eBay from Hermansur last year.  It is my favorite fig so far, just based on its beauty and vigor.  This spring I attempted to put my figs out too early, losing a few and having to bring all back inside, until probably the last week in June.  This fig tree wasn't just surviving at 55 degrees though, it was making new growth.  It will prove to be a hardy tree, or at least a hardy strain of the variety for sure! I hope that you enjoy, the density of the growth really makes for the pictures really not doing justice to the tree!  It's far more lovely in person. Thanks for looking,
-Devin

Sorry about that Ross, they weren't loading properly for some reason I posted them separately!

This is one of the best figs for cold regions. Last year in the middle of May we had a cold snap come through and kill all my new and some old growth. So it did not put figs out till the end of June. I new they would not ripen In Time but I left them on anyway. When the time came to put the trees away I threw this one in the greenhouse. I left it in there till November when I had to move it to another location. When I went in I had fifty rip figs sitting on the tree. Not many figs can do that in an unheated greenhouse in zone five
