Stubborn eh. Oh well, if others join you in your disdain of the light figs, more for the rest of us, but I doubt that will happen. I would nevver shut the door on so many excellent figs.

I'm not sure that Adriatic (JH) is actually Adriatic.  I don't remember the history of the tree, but I think it came from a local nursery labeled as such.  I know there is a second tree less than .5 miles (on the same road) from the tree all of the cuttings started from.  There is also a nursery that specializes in orchids within a mile of both trees.  The owner once told me they had a fig tree onsite but I didn't ask about it's origin or what kind of figs it produces.  The current owner is not the original owner, and the nursery is for sale as of the last time I drove by.  I'm not sure how much information is available, but I will stop in the next time I am in the area.

Just read the thread about Mario's Salce fig, another fine white. Let me also add Vasilika sika and Verte, the latter is excellent according to Bass. By the way thanks Bass for the Bethlehem area fig tour, pretty amazing fig hedges!!!

I assume "Vini Vidi Vici" is a dark fig. Do you have pictures? ;)

(How new varietal names get started.)


ps... cute kitty, Barry. He and our relatively new 'devil boy' would probably get along great.

Gina,

That little kitten just showed up in my yard, crying and starving. Checked with the SPCA, local paper and online lost and found, no one reported him lost. Took him to the SPCA and got him chipped and shots, he's my new fig  guard

I'm glad to see this thread got bumped but I didn't see it until this morning - Did you sleep alright Martin?  Hopefully you didn't have dreams of any giant figs chasing you. You know, like a huge white monster fig with its giant gaping mouth about to swallow you up AAAAHHHGG!! Little shop of fig horrors - LOL!

@ BLB. I thought of a great nickname for your little fig gaurd. In this context maybe we can call him Ebony & Ivory :-)) ?    OH! Why can't we all just get along LOL!!!?

For the record, figs of all nationalities are welcome in my yard.  All in fun Martin ;-)........

Bill, I toyed with name like that, but we named the little fig guard Pickles because at the time I was making home made pickles and I wanted a unique name for him. He is a very cool cat with a big personality. The random black and white markings all over his body have a particular name, cow cat markings. So this little fig guard named Pickles is a cow cat, a little confusing for him but he doesn't seem to mind. And yes he eats figs, in very small quantities. He eats almost everything I eat, weird cat.

@ BLB. Pickles is a good name for a cat. It's got some humor to it :) .

My wife & I have had four pets since we've been together. We named them all after spices - Pepper, Sage, Basil, & now Ginger. Pepper & Basil are gone but we still have Sage & Ginger. Though Sage (beagle mix) is getting up there in years now.

I just posted a picture with "Miss Ginger" in it over here:
http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Grafting-Pictures-6152903?pid=1276373838#post1276373838

She's called a tortoise shell or tortoise shell calico. She's a pretty little cat. We originally got her for my daughter as sort of a "stimuli" pet for her (my daughter has some learning disabilities). After the first few days though my daughter nor the cat showed much interest in each other. So now she's become "my cat". Most probably because I'm the one who remembers to feed her - LOL! 

Martin, all kidding aside, I bet that JH Adriatic would be one that could possibly tempt you over to the lighter side! You have to admit, it's a beauty. I hope I can get mine to fruit for me this year.

Nice Tortie, my daughter has one of those, always females as I understand it. I have another cat a grey and white named Tommy, so I unwittingly named my cats after a Rugrats character Tommy Pickles. And nice grafting, how are they growing for you?

The reason i asked was what appears to be these scorch marks that i circled but must be something else then.
