So you have a fig with some funny growth.  NO. 1!  Alive.  2.  Growing.  3.  It got pruned wrong by it's owner.  Would that be you?  ;-))

I have Paridiso, but it's a one trunker, very vigorous, so might be Nero.  Paridiso does put out more trunks.  It's vigorous. 

Stick it in a bigger pot, and once it gets it's juice going, prune it and send the cuttings to me!  Or re-pot it so the trunk faces up!

nope, no pruning yet on those. they are cuttings going into their 2nd yr. not sure what happened, but the branches came out side way. i had too many cuttings and too many things going on, so didn't bother to stake them. so now they look like they want to run away from the container x) 

Just up-pot  the Socorro and turn it in the pot so it goes straight up. The other one has a great candidate for a layer, the other two branches will do fine.

I think they are the good candidates for the North pole fig farm, the sun is really low above the horizon up there :)

Igor, that's funny. I went to college in Grandforks, North Dakota for one year. It is in the Red River Valley on the east side of North Dakota,( we'll I actually lived on the other side of the river which was Minnesota but that isn't the point).  In the winter you would see the sun about 3 hours a day. For an hour or so in the morning and evening, it seemed there was always a cloud line a couple fingers above the horizon to hide the sun for most of the day.

Calvin,

I guess you get enough sun now! 300 days a year?

Were you by any chance sharing your evening drinks with these?
