Good evening Ladies and Gents .
This morning and while at work ,I had to run to The local Home Depot for some much needed ,work related material . Upon arrival and while " accidentally " passing by the fruit tree section I stumbled upon this little fig dude! My oh my , is that a Brunswick ? I thought as I made an "Accidental "turn towards the thing! No, not quite I thought once again ,as I got much closer. The lobes looked kind of longish just like my Brunswick but the middle lobe was way longer than the rest, on most leaves and a slight mutation was also visible on most leaves almost like a sixth finger. It is labeled as "fig" . Oh that's freegin great! I said out loud this time and immediately apologized to the old lady next to me. Well, that was all I needed . I'm a sucker for any unknown fig that looks remotely different,or not, than a Celeste and I immediately sensed an urgency to grab a cart and..... But I fought and fought and said NO. I will not buy another...
Turned the other way and walked towards the insulation isle where I picked up my material and drove away.
With my newly acquired fig in the back seat of the Ram!!! How in the.... And what was I thinking? Well after work I got home strangely, way quicker than I usually do and sneaked ( Yeah sneaked and I also paid in cash for the darn thing so there. What momma don't know won't hurt) to the back yard with my new bud. Under the long sticky tag that says fruit ,I found the little white tag that said "Texas Everbearing fig" . Better late than ever! If any of you ,my friends ,recognizes the leaf patern as that cultivar or not please weigh inn with your opinion! The price was $24,98 but marked down to 50% off so not at all a bad deal imo. Thanks for reading and have a great evening!
