Nice photos, good luck with the plant. I'm going to pass on BM, and stick with varieties that are confirmed NJ good growers. You certainly have a green thumb and now an expert photographer lol. __________________ John G. Spring Lake Hts, NJ Zone 7A

john, it seems NC is good for the figs, at least where i am. BM is doing lot better than i expected. if they survive the winter, i should have 4 BM.. 3 that i rooted from 1 cutting from UCD. and one which i'll be air layering in the spring. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

yupe.. and i waited 3 yrs for figs on Kathleen's Black. from UCD cuttings, i have figs on Black Madeira, Ischia White, and Calvert. they are all 3 month old cuttings. i'm knocking them off since they are so young, but it give me hope that i'll get to taste them next year. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.
