Hi Everyone,
I ordered these cuttings of Sumacki off E-bay earlier this year.  One  took off quickly and now is including the pot 2 ft tall with figlets starting.   Does this look like Sumacki to any of you who have this plant?  It seems to be a good growing plant.
 

be careful telling where you get your cuttings from overseas.   Nice ....guys from USDA came to my house and took my sumaki fig .   ebay tells them every time you buy something from non approved source out of the country. and they probably read this forum.

Thank You  adoresfigs45

I bet someone at the USDA has an awesome fig collection in his back yard,sounds like the perfect crime for a fig nutter criminal.

ding dong..."hi I'm 'John Figgersnatcher' from the USDA I'm here to take your super rare fig trees to be "destroyed",collector hands over a rooted fig cutting, "thank you very much,I've been looking for this one,I mean,looking for YOU for a while now,you have been very bad,how dare you bring twigs into the country,now don't do it again you hear!" ,USDA inspector Leaves,fig collector goes back inside(to make sure it was Definately the Unk.brown turkey he just fleeced the guy with) and Mr JohnnFiggersnatcher evil laughs all the way to the car

I have one up on the bay currently. For anyone that's interested.

I gave some awesome pons cuttings to the USDA last year for a early Christmas present. I am very thoughtful. They are my heros.

Yes, they paid me a visit too!

Has anyone been able to ripen a Sumacki fig and taste it? Bass describes it as "one of the finest tasting figs" for his area. He's selling a number of them on his ToJ website at a premium price. Our growing conditions here are so different, I wonder if it would taste as good grown locally.

Mara, i am in socal, and have Bass' sumacki. excellent tasting fig. we tasted about 5 figs in first year pot. you can't really glean full taste off first year, but it is a keeper.

very good grower also. remember this fig is originally from the middle east climate, so it is anticipated to do better and taste better in southern California than Pennsylvania.

Thanks for your response, Nick. Was it a honey fig? A berry flavored fig? Mildly/medium/very sweet? 

i wish i can be more descriptive. but like many, i am not good in describing taste. i know its not a honey. It is more of a berry fig.

here is a thread where Bass describes it, and mentions "honey" figuratively, but I am sure he would agree with me in not labeling it a honey fig.

In the same thread, Bass states "It does ooz honey at the eye, but depends what you refer to as a honey fig. To me honey fig are any figs that has a pulp like honey in color and taste. Usually usually yellow skin and yellow pulp. "

So, this by his account and my account, is not a honey fig
