Just enjoyed several Green Ischia figs today (Nov. 19) from a friends place two blocks from the ocean in San Diego, CA.  This is a very MILD climate with few hot days to ripen figs.  Anyhow, they were still delicious and surprisingly sweet for this late in the season. I would recommend this fig to anyone in a cool summer climate.

The pics are below.  I really think this is a beautiful fig.  If anyone wants cuttings, I should have some in late Jan, early Feb.  Please PM me.

Enjoy!

Ha!  This Angels fan finally figured out the meaning of your Padsfan name!!  San Diego = Padres!  Now, I'm a Chargers fan if that helps (Picked up Danario Alexander for my fantasy team, and I made bank) but nothing can take my Angels from me!

It is a beautiful fig!  Wonder how it will do in the heat of the desert?  I've got some cuttings coming from another member and looking forward to it!

Wonder how it would do in the deep south heat and Humidity?

Wow not a good season to be a Chargers fan. Next year maybe we'll have John Gruden as a coach? Two blocks from the ocean, mild climate... sounds like me! I've got a verte and a strawberry verte newly planted. They may both be green ischias, we shall see.

Mike I have several Green ischia 3 year old trees and they seem to hold up good so far I haven't gotten any figs yet had a few but I pinched them so the trees could get bigger but even with the few cold nights ( 30's) they still looked good. So hopefully the humidity we have wont hurt them. I will be sure to post pics and updates next year when they produce fruit.

They sure looke good to me!
