SAS: you are right there is so much to consider. These are not my numbers they are extrapolated to a per tree basis from a University of CA Davis report. This report obviously is for reference on commercial orchards (155 trees per acre) with proper maintenance and cultivation in the San Joaquin Valley! Obviously not the weight of figs I can look forward to in Minnesota. I shall be ecstatic the day I get a pound or two of figs on my potted-trees....
My purpose was to show Speezy that, by searching the internet for info, reading those reports from different regions and addressing different varieties, one can get some sense of the amount of figs one might be able to obtain under conditions noted in those reports.
As to what Speezy might get from his large, ground-planted fig tree, well perhaps local, research-minded members can give him data on number of figs, pounds of figs or buckets of figs they have picked on their trees!
Cheers
Marcel
