My Skardu Black is finally beginning to make some good growth but late in the season.  It has not been fertilized since mid June with Osmocote.  A large breba was aborted earlier and these 7 or so main crop figs will have to face the sun before cold weather sets in if they are to ripen.  Any others with this years experience with Skardu Black. Most of those tasting figs on my property this year are not talking but flying home full to my neighbors bee hives. The fig shown is now in about a 2 gal pot.  It will be kept until I get to eat a ripe fig from it.  It has been a long wait and too late to give up on it now

 

I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Sir, that one looks like it was in the Corral and we didn't venture over there. You need to charge your neighbors with the hives for all of the lovely nectar they are currently getting for free! I bet their honey is delish.
Seriously, I'll never forget all of the movement in your trees and shrubs. They were literally buzzing with happiness! I'm sure your Skardu Black will thrive like all of your babies there. You have a magic touch as well as a green thumb.
Hope you enjoyed your Alaskan Adventure! :D
