This past winter I was lucky enough to receive about a dozen gift cuttings of Dominick's fig from Jim/coop951, ten of which are now in 1-gallon containers.  I'm going to plant 1 of them in-ground and move the rest up to 3 or 5 gallon containers in the near future.   

Here's a pic of all the kids lined up (the smallest one on the right was just up-potted from its 14oz cup today).

They've been living in partial shade underneath a flowering Dwarf Orinoco banana:

Thanks again for sharing your fig, Jim!

Thanks for posting the pic, I don't think I've seen any pics of the fruit before.  Those are some really healthy-looking leaves, too.
