Hi everyone,

I started this plant from a cutting Dec.1st /08

I think the little guy is growing good, and on top of all that it is growing many figlets.

I hope what I think are figlets are just that, Figlets.:-)







Thanks for looking

Hi:I am very Happy for you.
I am writing to say that you should call this one Sal's Corleone,so not to get confused with Sal's Gene strain.
I numbered it #2,because I had Sal's Gene First,but It is time to call it the original name:
Sal's Corleone
Happy Gardening

Thanks Herman

So Sal's Corleone it is !!!!!!


And thanks again for the cuttings!

The reason Herman said anything is because I had called this post
My Sal's #2 in the original subject line.

Thanks for sharing the pictures Cecil it sure looks nice.
Nice little figs starting to!

Herman, say(generally) if your main crop figs were to exhibit figlets size like those in the pic's taken by Cecil, would you have a chance to harvest them by 1st week Oct or earlier? I have lots that are slightly larger than those exhibited in Cecil's pic's size & certainly the famous Marseillies VS(main crop)is about 3 times the size of those in the picture. My MVS Black is in its 2nd year & I have more than 20 main crop figlets. Hope happy days stay longer for the figs.

Paully:Those fig embryo appeared on the 1st of July.
If they will be on a tree in my backyard,they will have about just enough time to get ripe,till 20,Th of October,the frost date in my climate.
They will have 112 days to grow and ripe.
They will need 21 days to grow and 90 days to ripe
21+90=111
I will have one day to eat all the fruits before the frost gets them,!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
In the 112"th day,I will be taking my time and eating the figs!
Ha Ha Ha !!!!!!
Can you Believe:My older (third year),Sal's Corleone,Doesn't have any fig embryo,yet,but 2 young ones,I started,Feb., 2008,have fruits as large as a small cherry.
They all have been in the fig cellar last winter.
In other words,the young baby figs have fruits earlier than the mother plant.!!!!

Happy Gardening

Herman, Thanks for the clarity of info & to Cecil too as the pictures made queries answered more simplified & understandable. If the weather holds out, I should have more main crop figs than brebas.

I have a few variants thats doing the same thing especially the Adriano. I think I may have traded too many cuttings last year from the mother Adriano tree. My 2nd year(2008) Adriano tree has more figlets than mummy tree.

Now I got to make sure my boy water my figs diligently while I am away.
