Happy to find out that all my little baby fig trees have survived the rain storm. All I lost during these days is few nights of sleep and 10-20% of the Pakistan Mulberry fruit. I think I can live with that ;)

It was good to have the rain, and the snow covered mountains are beautiful! All my figs loved it! They are loving the sunshine too! Glad you didn't get any damage on your babies. Mulberry loss? It's my first year, and the blooms look OK on the two in containers in the front yard, but the 3 down the hill, in ground have not yet bloomed. Suzi __________________ Zone 9b, Southern California.

thanks Frank. oh BTW , I am rooting your Carinis this week, lets see how long they will take to root ;) Greg i never liked cold, that's the reason i love here in LA. I am a mediterranean boy by birth. (Cyprus) Suzi thanks, i was really holding my breath... it's better if Mulberries are delaying bloom, for this reason... my Black Pakistan hasn't even budged ...still dormant, but the White Pakistan was full of berries...different varieties different bloom times, just like Figs.
