Sunfire Year One With Figs

I think the figs like the location. Full sun, on concrete patio. Barry says I can leave a couple on. It is pushing a lot of figs. Also have figs on my Atreano (stick from Driveway Farmer). And on Pete's Timlight. This is fun!

Nice work Donna! I think the figs like you!

It's great when you start getting figs!

Donna,

My Sunfire is one of my five best growers and has figs as well.  It is also a yearling and I can't wait to see how well it does in high heat and humidty.  Hope it turns out to be a winner here.

Steve, where's the pix? I visit my Sunfire first thing every morning. Yours was started this past winter?

Donna,

Yes ma'am, started 1-26-13.  I will try to get a photo in the next few days.  I think I had previously referred to it as "figzilla" or something along those lines.  It will probably be the first cutting I started this year that really needs to go to a 5+ gallon pot/bucket before the end of summer.

Here you go Donna.  Dang, didn't write this one down, but I assume I up potted to 1 gal pot around mid-March.  Then 1 to 3 gal pot on 5-3-13.  The cutting was started with DipnGrow.  Cutting length from soil line ~ 6 inches.  Tree height now from soil line ~34 inches.

Hi Steve,

That is one fine looking plant.

Mine has 2 stems but it's not nearly as big as yours. Also your "trunk" looks more mature, my 2 stems are still green. Also your figs are much further along. I wonder if this is because you are at a lower latitude?

Donna

Yes Barry but they keep whining:

"I wanna go home to Algon Ave, I wanna go home to Daddy!"

Just tried my first one and it is excellent. Lingering aftertaste, too.
