Thanks, elin.

I found I don't like the new way displaying photos in a roll-over method. In order to view the elin's pics, I have to save them first because they don't fit on my screen as displayed.
Is it only me or like this for everybody?

Thanks elin, I saved a few and am using one now.

Me too green fig. You either have to edit them or... I right clicked on the and emailed them to me. In the process it give me the option to change the resolution. Once I receive the email I save them to my Desktop Background folder.

Dave I did a google search for that one. Not sure where it is because I went to the original pic instead of the the web page it came from.

Martino, have you had good results with grafting several varieties to one tree?

Chapman, I am just starting out.  I wish I have a big one like that in the pic to play with.  I have tried, just for fun, grafting 3 different varieties on a few small plants only recently.  Only time will tell how they will turn out.

Funny you ask,it is just something new i am doing to deter deer. Sofar it worked.I did a lot of persimmon and paw paw grafting a couple of weeks ago and i hang red tape by the graft area.You know, anything that moves they keep a distand.
If i could grow figs in a zone that is safe from winters i would grow all my figs that way. When i was in Spain and Italy they seem to grow all their figs that way. So i am doing the best i could with my zone 7a. Some of my figtree's are bigger than the one in the picture and i have 9 big ones the rest smaller, two and 3 years old.
