Hi there, Here is a pic of my black madeira, ...50+ figs this year, growing in a 15gal container. As per Jon, fertilizer is the key, .... I have four times the growth compared to last year. ..

Did either of you successful Black Madeira growers start out with FMV problems? If so, how long did it take to grow out of it?

I also noticed a big difference when fertilizing heavier, I give double the strength and it started to grow.

Ken, I have never noticed any FMV on the plant. It just grew like a snail the first two years. I fertilized often in small doses, that gave the plant 6" to 8" of new growth this year. I will try an airlayer this coming week; see how is turns out. ... good luck

Alex, thanks for the reply. I will be curious to hear how long your airlayer takes to root.
