Thinning out  a few plants to another neighbor to have space for other small plants that are growing.

Dark Portuguese
Black Bethlehem
Santa Cruz Dark

Nice Photos Martin (as usual)

Very nice plants. I want to be able to achieve ones as healthy as those.

The fruit on the Santa Cruz Dark looks interesting. Is it as sweet as it looks?

I guess the Santa Cruz is no big surprise, but why the other 2? I have high hopes for BB in the ground here.

Martin gotta give you credit for what your doing some of us just dont have the courage to do it.

Cecil i really like the Dark Portuguese as it is very similar to my Hardy Chicago but thats just it i cant keep all the ones that are similar .

Gina the fruit on the Santa Cruz Dark tasted better last season they were sweeter with a faint melon type taste. It produced well last season and i propagted it from UcDavis when listed as san pedro type then later changed, its still listed on a site or 2 as san pedro type fig (breba only).
Here in my climate i only had a few breba and it produced good amount main crop that was better tasting.

Black Bethlehem is good fig just not great for my palate but many will like im sure.

Nelson as i age it gets harder for me with several surgeries and wheeling these in and out of garage becomes a little more difficult each season .

Its a lot of work give them there best care.  Its only me that  fertilize them , water them , and also to root prune them which i have to do some each season on a rotating basis.

One day perhaps i will be in climate where i can put some select few inground and just have to limb prune and little fertilizer only.

Thanks Martin,

Martin my advice to you is..."go South young man, go South". That will solve many of the situations you are now facing.

@Martin,

I think that the Santa Cruz Dark fig was not enough 'dark/black[/red]' for you.

One of these days, I will find a pure 'white' fig that will make you a convert... 

@ Gorgi

Gorgi,

My fig tasting experience is limited to Brown Turkey and maybe some Alma and Celeste. From what I have read I guess I'm in the low rent wrong side of the track position.

Yep, I'm a desperate case. Probably doomed unredeemable.

BUT

if you feel the need to reach out and help a poor soul...
