With the cooler temperatures the leaves turn yellow and drop as the fig tree goes dormant.

Hey Tom,
Do you still think REI is the same as Black Spanish? To me, it looks just like my Red Isreal.
Cheers,

I don't have either of those varieties so I could not compare it to them.  One distinguishing feature is it's growth habit where the branches tend to grow out horizontal and perpendicular to the trunk.  Almost like a natural espalier.  If either of those varieties have this feature maybe it's one of them.  I bought this from Encanto Farms several years ago as a REI.  It does not match the information in the data base for REI but I have been calling it REI since I started it from a cutting.  Searching REI someone did post that they had a Black Spanish that had this growth habit so maybe it is a Black Spanish.

Tom,
My REI is very unproductive. Only one fruit so far. It tasted quite nice though. What about yours? Is it because of our tropical weather?
