My wife is throwing a pool party and these are the hors d'oeuvre.  photo 5.JPG  photo 4.JPG      photo 1.JPG  photo 2.JPG   


I like how you have them in the floor.  Wish I was there! 

I finally got an Alma!  It's got figs, but they aren't ripe yet.  So, are you serving them plain, or doing something fancy with them?

Oh, and while we are on the subject, since I've never tasted one, are they rich?  Sweet?  Berry?  Nutty?  How would you describe the flavor?

Enjoy the party!!

No birds invited? Very impressive design.

Wow, tress look so healthy. Alma is on my wish list and can't wait to find one somewhere.

Where are my floaties!?!

OMG, Now I get it!
The reason you called Alma Twins is because you have 2 of 'em...LOL
...and I thought it's because the tree had low-starting double trunk. Dur!!!

They look amazing, and I am so glad I have several growing in (still) 1Gs

Frank,

Those Alma sisters sure know how to give it their all;)
Glad you are enjoying them.

Gorgeous trees, Frank.

Beautiful pool area, Frank

I love the location bud!!! Best pool plants Ive seen

I second the question on taste! My little in-ground has quite a while before she reaches their stature, but she's already starting to put out. :-)

The Southern twins appreciate the compliments.:)

Taste?
Sweet, figgy, jammy. This is not the thinking man's fig. Girls just wanna have fun.


All of that green grass beyond the pool and not a fig in it?  I am ashamed of you.  

I love how they just thrive under that cement.  

Them Alma sisters look like they've been trained by the Kardashians.
Very high class and attention getters.

And they really put out:)

Looks lovely!

That is nice!

Kardashians and high class in the same sentence? What else are you growing up there and has it been legalized yet? hahahha

We be smoke'n up some dried up banana peals here in the north.

I wasn't thinking, gave them too much credit;)

Fantastic pics, FMD, thanks for sharing!  Just gorgeous...

Their progeny from last winter's cuttings are doing well here, one in aquaponics, one in the dirt.  The one in my tunnel aquaponics system has about 12 or so nice figs, and the first one just started turning a couple of days ago.  The one that's in-ground in my other tunnel is purely vegging since the Dwarf Gros Michel banana plants beside it are hogging the sunlight and shading it too much. 

Thanks again for the cuttings, and for all the great pictures :)

Those girls are gorgeous.

Very nice!
And the trees are healthy because of the cement?
