from today

This is the poor original tree that has been cut back for reshaping and propagating

John....

Thanks for the cutting offer, but the border will be the problem.  I was hoping for a rooted cutting from a grower within the US...if, they are available, at this point.

Can't wood be sent through the mail in a plain brown envelope?  Too bad everything is so complicated...but, there are good reasons.

Fig season in Toronto is coming to an end and most of the trees are stalling out . Three varieties are going strong still , one is NB.
In fact the sweetness and flavor is more intense with the cold weather that has been in the mid to low 40s at night .

Sorry Ruben , I just had to.

Starting to ripen


Getting there


Now thats ripe !!!!


A look inside 


Close up , super dense and flavorfull


Compared to a quarter


A platefull of other good figs that try but just dont compare to NB.


Thanks John

Hello, I'm live in Niagara Falls. Why don't I have one of these babies??? They look great and I can't wait to try the layering technique.
