It's a 1 year old tree, it started in march and we had low Temps one night and I lost all that growth, and lost the top half of the tree, so it went dormant for another month to 6 weeks, i actually thought it completely died, then all of a sudden 3 new branches popped out all at the same level like a wine glass type branching, and the growth was rediculously fast, this little tree has about 15 figs on it and it's only about 7 or 8 inches, the figs started nubbing out about 3 weeks ago, and they double in size almost every day! Great variety, prob my favorite
