You have some nice plants there, hope you get lots of tasty figs from them.

Nice and at least they got a good watering this past week.

The rain was great this time last year i had a lot of figs dropping from the heat ive learnt the hard way pots need to be water ever day.

Hope they taste good cause some have weird names like Harold ho,Evangelista,lemon lennie,fiesta di Desire

Congratulations

You have a nice collection of young figs looking as they should !!

Robust and healthy !!

and denoting a master taking good care of them

One little note regarding watering potted figs,,

If you visit your trees frequently, once a day,  may be more that...and if you do not wish to 'over-water'
look at their leaves as their leaves tell you exactly when they need a bit of water.

Good harvests

isn't it wonderful waiting for the figs to ripen? the anticipation of new figs.. new taste.. it what makes me still looking for more.

What a wonderful figs tree there..... Nice

Very impressive collection mocatta! May I ask why are some of the pots wrapped in foliage?

Wow, looking good. Thanks for all the pictures.

Thanks for teasng us all! As we slowly transition to Autumns' frost, cold, rain and wind - you are enjoying sun, and figgy weather, tks for the pix

I wrap the pots cause off the heat,i tested the pots on a day when it was 37dc the pots were 42 even the green pots so i wrapped  one tested it there was at least 7dc so cooling them down i wont have figs dropping like last year,cause the mix is so light.

Welcome aboard. I am also willing to trade come winter time.

I love to trade cuttings with anyone who has the passion for fig tree. It's good to know some people do care about figs the way I do. Fig still has to go a long way in Australia to gain popularity in the garden world. It is really hard to get those variety available in US( thanks to our over the top Custom Department). Most of the older generation migrated in this country has the treasure varieties locked in their backyard and we need to find them share among each other.

Hi mate u say ur from Adelaide we should be asking u for cuttings just go to the willabrand fig orchard he has far more better figs than in Sydney.

Hey, what part of Sydney do you live in? You should go collecting in Auburn and blacktown, theres a bunch of Lebanese figs there. 

Yes i live near Auburn just tell me were and ill go,big Lebanese population there it should be call Auburnon.
