THAT is a delicious looking fig! I'm glad i read what you said about the weather. I'd better get my fig act together. VdB form you is growing robustly and keeps putting out little figs hopeless figs. This little tree doesnt know it's supposed to be going night-night, It wants to grow! I'm considering keeping it inside for winter. What do you think about that?

Soni, how tall is it now? I would say if it is two plus feet tall and has harden off let it go dormant.

Looks like VdB. My Havasu is still young, but the leaves look very different. Those leaves look just like VdB, and so does the fruit. I haven't gotten any Havasu fruit yet to compare. But I'm pretty sure it is VdB. Maybe others can comment.

I think this is Negronne (Violette de Bordeaux). The leaves of Havasu Purple resemble Hardy Chicago leaves. The fruit resembles VDB / Negronne also. in your photos resembles VDB / Negronne also. I think the variety you've pictured here is Negronne / VDB, not Havasu Purple Unk >>

That looks delicious Mike. The leaves look exactly like my VdB. I started with one this spring and am up to 6 trees. I had to air layer the one I bought because it was a 4 foot tall spindly pencil. The air layer took and now both plants are trying to branch out. The log I got from Kerry is a nice 4x4 bush.
