Ed, I have two BM .   They both are doing great. I have about 15-20 figs between the two of them.They are in 5 gal pots right now and not displaying any signs of FMV even though the cuttings were from UCD. Figs are larger than a quarter as of now. Hopefully they should ripen in about a month or so.   Angelo Zone 7A NY

Thanks BLB ,I've been lucky so far with BM. It rooted easily and grew nicely. The catch with BM is that it may require a lot of heat and a good growing season in order to produce ripe fruit in the northeast. Anyhow I feel it is worth trying being it is a high quality fruit.    Angelo Zone 7A NY

You both (Ed and Angelo) did a great job of growing them.
Congrats!
I'm hoping someday to have one myself.

is the quality of BM cuttings getting better? or the skills of the members to root the cuttings and growing it getting better? it seems there are lot more success with BM now days then before.

Thanks Ed for sharing.

I had one ripening but it turned out missing. I thought the tree rats got to it but it turns out it was POPs all along.

Need to know how to get back at him? Hmmmm
