Often we get mesmerized by those big and huge figs and how nice and juicy they look but we all forget about those little ones that pack a big punch.

Queue Longue is one of those little ones with the punch.
I have had this cultivar for almost three years now and it is a winner in the making. The fruit is less than the size of a quarter and has a long neck (long tail) it packs a fruity taste. Almost berry like.

Last year it struggled for what ever the reason but this year it made a rebound. Sitting in 2gl pot I think it needs something much larger to stretch her legs. Has FMV but I think a little extra fertilizer and extra TLC and this little tree will make a full recovery.

The tree appears to be naturally small and so do the leaves. Just like the fruit it self.

Please enjoy the pictures,

BTW, trying to load pictures of the ripe fruit from two years ago but too large.


Edit: I added three more pictures that were taken two years ago. Sorry for the quality because I snapped them off the monitor because the files were to large to load here and this is the best way I know how.
Pix 7,8 and 9.

Rafed,

You are preaching to the choir with me.  I have always liked the "bite sized" figs.  It makes it seem more like a candy treat than fruit.  My dad still gets mad at me for this preference.  He likes them big and, like Martin, dark purple skinned.

Rafed, another nice looking plant. A little FMV has hurt any of mine yet.

Thanks Mike


James,
The is a picture of my "Tia Penya" I am posting, was snapped from the monitor because the file was too large to post here directly. This is the best I know how to do it.

I don't know if this little guy was just a fluke or this is actually how small the fruit is but it was packed with some intense berry flavor. Too strong for a little fig.

It is one of about six or seven small cultivars I have in my collection.

I think I will go back and do the same with the other Queue Longue pictures.

I've noticed the first fig from a tree is usually smaller than normal. Sometimes the difference is substantial. I had a fluke mini-Kadota several years ago. It tasted the same as the larger ones (and the PH).
