from very very generous member who knew how to send the cuttings legally :) 

here is the pix of the Moscatel Preto. it's growing very vigorously. no figs yet, but i'm hoping next yr will bring wonderful results. 

good size leaves. 

Looks good, Pete, nice big leaves.  Good luck!

Thanks for posting Pete, this tree has very beautiful leaves,

Very nice, Pete!  =)

thanks guys, it's one of those figs i'm waiting for till next yr along with few others. Niagara Black, Nero 600M, St. Rita and others. more and more i think about it, growing fig is more of anticipation of new taste then anything else. i'm really hoping better weather and better luck next yr. i really screwed up this yr. faith and hope.. what drives the human kind. 

and i can't stop thinking about sewing on the patches and setting plans for the Webelos and new scouts in the troop. not a big deal for me, but still... it's few min of my time, but it can be good or bad impression on the boys for their future. i should just take the darn uniforms to ft. bragg and have those tailors sew it on for me. they are cheap down there. for my uniform, i would do that.. but for my sons, i want to do it so they can remember and do the same for their kids. i hoping BSA will turn co-ed like other countries. then the girls can enjoy all this, and won't have to wait till they are 14 to experience outdoor like the boys can. well.. 4 pints Guinness is for me tonight. have a good 'un. 

Pete, I think your boys will remember more about the outings than who sewed on the patches.  I have my Scout shirts from 40 years ago and I do appreciate now that mom sewed on my patches but she wasn't on outings with us.  My dad was an extremely busy farmer and didn't go camping back then but I knew he was working hard to provide for our family.  Nearly all of my son's patches were sewn on by a lady that does a great job and charges a buck or two and it's worth it to save the time.  My wife sewed on my HAT Core patch because I didn't want to lose the functionality of my shirt pocket and I do appreciate that!  We made a 7 hour hike last weekend at Yosemite and that's the sort of thing I think my son will remember.

Nice looking tree. I've noticed that many trees with more solid leaves, like those in your pic, produce excellent figs, Black Madeira being a prime example
