Fantastic :)

(I'm in England so regretfully can't take up the offer of cuttings).

I'm completely new to figs and just followed the RHS's suggestion of using John Innes No. 3.

However, my gut feeling is that it doesn't drain well enough - after watering the water remains pooled in the pot for quite some while before soking in and through.

Thanks Mike. I shall tend it as best I can. Would be great to one day have an ID, even if it turns out to be the ever popular (over here anyway) Brown Turkey, lol.

For now I shall refer to it as 'Wilkinson's Unknown' (Wilkinson's is the name of the shop I bought it from).

Ps. Yes, Mithril like the metal :o)

Hi,

I'm pretty new to fig growing. In fact, until quite recently I wasn't really aware figs could be grown outside for fruit over here, in England. However, now I'm aware, and furthermore learned they can be grown in pots (I've pretty much run out of room in the ground), I can't wait to get started.

I bought a Brunswick a few weeks ago and yesterday I picked a very cheap mystery fig (at less than £3 I thought it was worth a gamble). I've attached a photo of it.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what variety it might be? The label gave no clues. (In fact, part way through it refered to it was a kiwi fruit!)
