Hi ascpete,
Time to buy pots and open a nursery :)

Hello Pete, et al.-

Great to see that the original Bronx trees have re-sprouted from the roots.  I see a lot of potential air-layers in your photos.....dozens, in fact.

The devastation in The Bronx and surrounding areas was shocking.  Everywhere I drive, I see skeletons of older figs trees looking bare and gaunt.  Most have been chopped back to within a few feet of the roots.  The good news....many have re-sprouted from the lower branches or roots.  It will take many years for these trees to regrow, providing we don't have bad winters again.  May of these older, damaged and pruned-back trees, are really nothing more than giant, rooted cuttings, at this point.  I hope all this new growth has time to properly harden off before the freezes start up again.

We'll keep our fingers crossed for some milder, winter weather.

Thanks for sharing the new updates.

It is the same in Philadelphia, a lot of the big trees are not resprouting. So sad.

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum (though I've been reading/lurking for a while).  I live in Manhattan and have an in-ground tree that is around 30 years old.  I'm also trying to grow others in pots without much success.  Anyway, I am convinced from looking at these pictures that the mature in-ground tree I have is the same variety as this Bryant Dark.  All the characteristics are remarkably similar.  I would really like to know what type of fig this is.  What are your best guesses?  Thanks in advance.
