Okay while on vacation I stumbled upon a fig tree at a small nursery. It was tied to one of the support pillars and kind of hidden in the back.. It was waving at me (leaves in the wind) I walked back and found this seven foot petite negri tree. I immediately looked at the wife and said I have to have this. Well 20 minutes later I was loading it into the minivan.. I was told the figs favor black mission. The tree has several figs hoping to ripen in the next few weeks in my zone can't wait. Any experiences with this variety..
