Attention Fig Detectives.... Here is a tree that I planted many years ago and have no recollection which one it is. The figs are delicious and this was a rescue mission as this poor tree was in a pot in the wrong place. I put these little twigs between my 2 air conditioners (I think the heat of those units help) and haven't covered it in my NJ zone 7a side yard for 5 years. It always made figs but they never ripened. Finally last year it exploded, in both size and deliciousness of fig. I just don't remember which variety it is. I had only bought about 4-6 different varieties back then so I could narrow it down to: Hardy Chicago, Alma, Celeste, an Italian White fig, or maybe one or two others. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I posted an air layering question last week and that tree was from this one. Any help and knowledge is appreciated and highly respected Thanks Coop Inline image Inline image Inline image __________________ Coop Northern NJ Zone 7a

I'm leaning towards Peters Honey.
I used to have it and this resembles it much.

It is definitely not Celeste or Hardy Chicago. __________________ Jason V Egg Harbor Twp., NJ/ Zone 7 Wishlist: Nothing.
